Did a search, wanted to see if it was already discussed.
Treat yourself, don't cheat yourself and get the dvd and maybe buy a few for relatives this holiday season.
Black people die from a lot of PREVENTABLE diseases and the way we eat has a lot to do with it, It's not a game.

I own physical copies of the dvd, but the new age crowd looks at people like us as dinosaurs so I mentioned it being on netflix. It used to be. Worth owning and showing at family gatherings.

thanks for creating this thread. The response to it here is about what the response was on other forums when it came out. Shame because it was excellent.
Also, I thought that you avi was Large Professor at first.
Yeah I've seen it tons of times. Very good doc.
I watched this when it came out. I was expecting it to be the typical "let's blame all our health woes on soul food" hit piece but it was actually better than I expected. I could be remembering it wrong tho, it was about 4 years ago.

To those who have seen it. What's your take on the term "food desert"?
This was perhaps the only beef with the film. They used that term that had been used and promoted in academic circles in the doc.. I get it, but I didn't like the way they glossed over the reality of that situation. Stores sell what people in vicinity consume....and have conditions that their customers tolerate. The use of the term implies that there aren't adults in those areas making conscious decisions as customers.
I'm West Indian, and I used to be disgusted at the markets that my family members would shop at. "Extra"? "Western Beef"? YUCK!!!!!!!! I wouldn't even trust buying canned goods from those places , they were so damned dirty. Caribbean people CONTINUED to shop there though, I guess it reminded them of markets back home.dirty and cramped.
Anyway, the "food desert" term felt patronizing to me..
