All right. Harmony. Well people living in underserved parts of Birmingham now have a new vital tool when it comes to promoting good health as WV. Tm 13 chip Scarborough shows us grocery shopping just got easier and more nutritional hunger is the topic of concern in our community that often gets overlooked. There have been times when people would eat um dog food because they had no food. This is about to become a familiar sight in some Birmingham neighborhoods. It’s called the mobile market and part of the Live Health Smart campaign. An initiative through A. B that promotes healthy eating and wellness eating healthy food is very important actually. Unfortunately, Alabama is one of the worst state and obesity, obesity is the risk factor for all chronic diseases. So people who live in parts of Birmingham like here in the tennis ville community or and what’s known as a food desert, meaning they don’t have adequate access to healthy fruits and vegetables like you see right here, that’s where this mobile food mark comes into play and a lot of the elderly people don’t have transportation to go to the stores. There’s no grocery store nearby. And so they have the mobile market right at our church parking lot and they can come and get fresh vegetables and a good price. But it’s not just fresh fruits and vegetables. Other essential items are also available. Many of them are nonperishable. It’s really hard to tell a community members you need to access healthy food and eat healthy when there is nothing around them to do that. Something that’s easy to take for granted in Birmingham Chip Scarborough, WV. TM 13.
