Jasmin and Mariann are all fired up about a recent New York Times article that discusses the new book, The Secret Life of Groceries, by Benjamin Lorr. In exploring the ethical dilemmas regarding the food we buy at grocery stores, it not only comes to some pretty weak conclusions regarding animal agriculture, but conveniently fails to come up with satisfactory (or any!) solutions. So everyone is off the hook regarding what they eat? We don't think so! In the “Our Hen House Supports Vegan Businesses” segment, we’re shouting out My Cat Jeoffry Books, a bookstore and cat cafe in Phoenix, AZ. We’re also shining a light on Good Girl Chocolate, a Black owned vegan chocolate company that can ship chocolate anywhere in the US, and Shared Planet, a new vegan beauty brand. We are thrilled that Olympia Auset is on the show today, and we're pretty sure you will be too! Olympia grew up in Los Angeles and returned to live in South Central after studying at Howard University. Although in college she had started following a plant-based diet, when she returned home she found it nearly impossible to obtain healthy food at a reasonable price. Not one to give up, in 2016 Olympia founded SÜPRMARKT, a low-cost organic grocery service that aims to be an oasis in the food desert and make fresh, healthy, vegan food readily available to all. SÜPRMARKT has distributed over 35,000 pounds of organic produce through its pop-up markets and weekly delivery service and is currently fundraising to open the first vegan organic grocery store in South Central. Olympia also serves on the board of Co+opportunity, a community-owned food cooperative based in California. Olympia joins us today to discuss food apartheid and why not having easy access to healthy food and fresh produce has a long term impact on the health of a community. She shares why she began to follow a plant-based diet in college, how her motivations gradually shifted and broadened, and why she is so passionate about educating people about the link between diet and preventable disease. Olympia also discusses how she hopes to expand the work that SÜPRMARKT has done to maximize access to organic produce by providing food scholarships to help make health and healing available to the communities that need it most.

Food apartheid is different from a food desert because it is man-made, and the lack of availability of healthy food disproportionately affects communities of color. This week’s guest is somebody who's working toward eliminating what she calls the food apartheid. Olympia Auset has made it her mission to find solutions to America’s food deserts, which are communities that lack access to affordable, high-quality, fresh foods. Olympia was vegan and living in a food desert herself. Because she didn't have a car, she would find herself having to spend hours on the bus just to get to the grocery store on the other side of town that carried the higher quality produce. After taking several of these trips, Olympia realized that she was the change she was waiting for, and that was when she started working with local farmers to create an oasis in the middle of her own food desert, which she called Süprmarkt. Over the last five years, Süprmarkt has distributed more than 70,000 pounds of fresh fruit and vegetables. What's remarkable is Olympia started without even having a table to sell the produce on. To date, she still doesn't have a car or a cellphone. After raising close to $90,000 in a crowdfunding campaign, she's now in escrow to purchase a brick and mortar location for Süprmarkt, which is going to help her create a centralized location for the community to gather and share in her mission of making healthy, fresh foods and meals available to all.

25 million people across the country live in food deserts — or what LA activist Olympia Auset calls food apartheid. People in these areas have easy access to junk food, liquor stores, and fast-food chains. But as Auset puts it if, "you want an organic avocado or tomato you'll be hard pressed to find it.”Auset is changing that with SuprMarkt, a pop-up grocery store that makes healthy food choices an affordable, realistic option for underrepresented communities. Auset talks to us about her personal journey — how becoming vegan helped her see just how few healthy food options her community had. Key moments from the showIn South LA only 60 grocery stores serve over a million people, while in the highly gentrified west side there are about 50 stores for half that population. Food deserts aren’t only food deserts. There are design deserts, entrepreneurship deserts, and so on.Auset tells us why she feels food apartheid is a more fitting term than food desert.Auset started SuprMarkt with less than $100 and little to no experience. Find out the one key thing she did have that drove her to succeed. Living in South Central Los Angeles makes you 2 to 3 times more susceptible to a preventable disease, like heart disease and diabetes. All because of the lack of healthy food options.

When I met Olympia she was helping produce an event in Los Angeles. I was immediately impressed with her organization and leadership skills, and THEN found out that she was an alum of my undergraduate Alma Mater, Howard University. After she made it clear that I am now considered and old head (I had no clue what the hand signs and spirit calls were, as they were apparently invented well after my graduation), we found common ground in our passion for wellness and community building. Olympia is the founder of SÜPRMARKT, a pop up organic market in Los Angeles, but she's not stopping there... Take a listen to her journey and consider supporting her awesome effort to "Keep Slauson Fresh." @supr.mrkt http://keepslausonfresh.net - Coach Be Moore #CoachBeDaily #EatingForAbs #Nutrition #Crenshaw #FoodDesert #Slauson #OlympiaAuset #HowardAlumni #HBCU

Join Guru Jagat and Olympia Auset founder of Suprmarkt (suprmarkt.la) for a conversation on the Food Access Matrix, Food Deserts, and what we can do about it.

Olympia Auset is a doer and a creator, she is the type a person who takes action. So when Olympia saw that there was an issue getting fresh produce to the people in her city of LA she took action. Olympia created SÜPRMARKT, a low cost organic grocery store that serves low income communities in LA. She has also created, Light The Launch, a media company that aims to bring positivity and education to the internet. Olympia has all of these projects under her belt and is still in her mid 20s. In this episode Olympia shares her best advice for saving money on food, how an experiment in a study group caused her to go vegan, and we discuss what the internet as a place has to do with your mental state. Plus we throw in some positivity and avocado talk in there.
