DESCRIPTION:Sign up for Uhuru Foods & Pies latest webinar series: Colonialism As 
 Cuisine as we focus on the topic of food deserts.\n\nThe USDA (United 
 States Department of Agriculture) defines a food desert as parts of the 
 country vapid of fresh fruit, vegetables, and other healthful whole foods, 
 usually found in impoverished areas. This is largely due to a lack of 
 grocery stores, farmers’ markets, and healthy food providers.\n\nIn fact, 
 most of East Oakland is considered a “food desert” by the USDA. The 
 African working class in most cities all over the United States live in 
 food deserts. Lack of access to healthy affordable fresh foods contributes 
 to higher rates of obesity,which increases risks of coronary heart disease, 
 stroke, cancer and diabetes, all of which disproportionately impact the 
 black community.\n\nThis is one of the tools of colonialism, form of 
 genocide, used to oppress the black community.\n\nThere are solutions to 
 this and it is happening right now with Black Power Blueprint that is 
 building an independent African economy (see video attached)!\n\nThat's why 
 you need to join our Uhuru Foods & Pies free webinar series Colonialism As 
 Cuisine that not only deep dives into the topic of food deserts, but 
 provides real, concrete solutions that will eradicate food deserts, AND 
 colonialism of African people.\n\nCannot wait to see you there!\n
