Progess On Healthy Bodega Initiative Group B

Last week our group visited two bodegas and made a chart of the healthy stuff they carried and the possible changes that could be made. We also made a survey of about 5 questions for the owner to answer; the questions were to know more of what people buy more, in the deli and outside the deli. Also if we saw that they did not carry something that we thought to be helpful in fighting obesity, like 1 of the stores we went to did not have fat free milk and we wanted to know why they did not sell it. We also asked the owners how much they were willing to help in this project and if they were willing to make small changes to improve health and they thought this was a very good project and they were willing to make some changes. Next week we plan to visit the bodegas again, we want to take pictures and also talk to them if they are willing to have a cooking demo to promote healthier sandwiches to community and campus. Our group wants to do 2 bodegas, in one we want to make healthier the deli options since they carried healthy food options and in the other for the owner to stock more healthy food since she did not have fat free milk. Jyoti is this fine, or do you think that we should do more than 2?

  1. Thats fine Juliana!! As long as these two make changes, as suggested by Donya, others will follow through as the sales will be obvious after promotions. So yeah stick with these two, and work your way through making some changes.
