"One cannot think well, love well, sleep well, if one has not dined well." --Virgina Woolf
People's Grocery
West Oakland, California, is a junk food oasis. The 25,000 resident neighborhood has 36 convenience and liquor stores to buy over-priced beer and candy in, but just one supermarket in which to buy fresh produce. That was until a group of social entreprenuers opened "The People's Grocery" to deliver locally grown food into the neighborhood and provide a thriving center for jobs, economic empowerment, and social justice.
