Guest guest Posted June 17, 2005 Report Share Posted June 17, 2005 Two Young Food Activists Use a Diesel-Powered Mobile Market to Bring Organics to West Oakland. by Jason Mark It’s an early spring afternoon and all is quiet in front of the Missionary Baptist Church, a cinderblock parish on Oakland’s impoverished West Side. Then the Mobile Market pulls up. Painted a cheerful orange and purple and blasting hip-hop tunes from a pair of solar-powered speakers, the custom-designed delivery truck trails behind it a whiff of popcorn—the scent of a biodiesel engine. Within minutes, the truck’s back doors swing open to reveal a fully stocked grocery on wheels, with neat rows of fresh produce, shelves of organic dry goods, bins of grains and nuts. http://commongroundmag.com/2005/cg3205/streetbeets3205.html Those who control the past, control the future; Those who control the future, control the present; Those who control the present, control the past.^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
