Salud America! and MomsRising invite you to a tweetchat at noon CST Friday, June 21, 2013 to discuss the new Salud America! research package, Better Food in Latino Neighborhoods.
We will discuss how exploring policies that introduce supermarkets or farmers’ markets in Latino communities expand healthy offerings in places like bodegas (small grocers) and how reducing costs of healthy foods can improve Latino families’ access to, and purchase of, healthier foods.
Please join us to share your comments, resources, or questions by adding the hashtag #FoodFri to your tweets at that time.
Be sure to follow @MomsRising, @SaludToday (the handle for Salud America!), and the hashtag #FoodFri to participate.
