Testimonial of a Mother
“My son has obesity and diabetes. I need help because he doesn’t listen to me…
And I know I am not the only one going through this. Many friends and relatives are having the same problem.
We are already old and we expect to be sick, but they are kids; they shouldn’t have these illnesses.
As a mom I feel guilty because I know I am not feeding my kids well, but I don’t know anymore how to do it better.
I need help.”

Healthy Grocery Store Initiative
Background
Nutritional Environmental Assessment Study (NEMS) 2010
Price and Availability Study in March 2012
Main Results:
1) Great variety and price for fruits and vegetables
2) Many of the supermarkets most frequented by Latinos offer fewer healthy options and, with the exception of fruits and vegetables, the healthy items that are offered normally cost more.
![Page 16: Healthy Choices Program - Wisconsin Local Food Network...Tatiana Maida, 16th Street Health Clinic; Tatiana.Maida@sschc.org Lelitza Garcia, United Community Center; lgarcia@unitedcc.org](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022071409/61031924d104e9562f4ef042/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Community Group wanted to…
Increase availability of healthy food items in Pete’s and El Rey grocery stores:
Whole grain cereals without High Fructose Corn Syrup
Quinoa, flaxseeds and sesame seeds
Dairy free of hormones
Cage-free eggs without antibiotics
Baked chips
