We are here at blue market and i want to thank our host, lisa even for hosting us and this even today. In addition to mayor lee we are also joined by thomas [inaudible] from the department of Public Health. A key partner on this program as well as mayor rogers. A Community Member and key local partner on this program. We will also be joined shortly by supervisor mar whose cosponsor of the key jail we tell registration a couple years back you join cosponsoring the legislation with supervisor melia cohen supervisor for this district by district had reportedly was not able to be here today. Now i want to take a quick minute to talk a little bit about some of the findings of the report before i headed off to the mayor. Healthy retail sf report was a joint venture between the office of economic and Workforce Development and the department of Public Health one highlight a couple key findings. The report found that through this Pilot Program were then 20 stores saw an increase in sales by more than 25 . This totals more than 5000 for each store and thats real in terms of total sales. Thats real value thats real impact for these businesses there taken this effort to increase the amount of healthy food they sold in their locations. That is also increasing access to healthy food. Within 6000 units are produced are being sold now at individual stores and in total, communities have access within 11,000 units are produced. One of the things that is most important thing the mayor would agree, is that instead of signs promoting alcohol and tobacco no signs promoting healthy produce and access to fresh food. So i want to take this moment to introduce and handed over to mayor lee is a champion for Small Businesses and based on my recollection and knowledge is done more invested more in our neighborhoods and Small Businesses than any mayor i know. With that, mayor lee. He was good morning everybody. Welcome to the bayview. [applause] you know the bayview has been a good area for us to invest in all over the city. We know for many years the residence that lived in and around this bayview area had felt isolated from the city and as we started the investment with the first light rail, we realized we really had a gem to help awaken this neighborhood, other neighborhoods in the city, with transportation, with housing them up with investing in Small Businesses and today we are in one of those Small Businesses and while the report is titled, Healthy Corner stores, technically, while this is not a corner store, this is still a corner store. In bayview because bayview along with the tenderloin along with Outer Mission are dotted with many stores that because theres a lack of larger Grocery Stores become the only place where people can buy their groceries. Over a period of time i lee, whos the owner of the store and many other store owners, they felt well the market seems to indicate youve got to sell chips, liquor, candy and that has become really the staple of a lot of the smaller stores. A couple of years ago the supervisors and our office teamed up to say that these socalled food deserts could really get some help and introduce them to more healthier foods for the entire neighborhood. That conversation took place with our Health Department thomas is here today representing Barbara Garcia and the entire health about. I want to say thank you for working together where office of Economic Development in our Small Business commissioners and all of our folks helping invest in neighborhoods to really make this ordinance that supervisor cohen and supervisor mar put together about how to bring more healthier foods to our neighborhoods. You cant just say it should happen. Were you can just criticize people for not having it. Youve got to actually make it happen and the way we made it happen is through investment. You take a store like this and you Start Talking with the owner and say what can we do to help you . Is that things like refrigeration . Is a maybe new shelving . Is it your point of sale systems . Is it marketing and education . Is that the visibility of these things . With all these help he used to the had and he just told me that when you come into the store it used to be the first thing you see were chips and candy. That doesnt represent the healthy part of what we want to sell people and so we removing that you can still sell it you can put it in other parts of the store, but how about fruits, vegetables and the things you really want people to buy right at the front as soon as you walk in. Thats good marketing. That is smart. That represents what all he wants to do because with this report says if you do these kinds of things and if we Work Together with our Small Businesses, the increase in the actual sales for the stores will increase. On average, by 25 . Thats incredible. 25 for small stores like this that means an additional 5000 a month. So its smart. Its economically sustainable. Its healthier and it builds as the report says, healthier communities. The people in bayview deserve Better Services good they should get it. They should get it at the Grocery Store. They should get it with government services. They should get it in transportation because it should never be any different than any part of San Francisco. This is what we are trying to do by investing in the neighborhoods not investing in entire corridor. So the report substantiates that may be on average a 20,000 investment in the storesand we done about average of that in about nine Stores Across the citywill have a return of an additional 25 increase in a unit of sale for all things but in particular, vegetables, fresh fruits, the things that really allow people to be healthier. Im excited about this because my wife has been on my case with the chips bags that she sees once in a while. Once in a while. The soda cans. Once in a while. That she wants me to be healthier and obviously, we have some longevity challenges that all of us face because you know, that is why im joining melia cohen on things like the sugar tax because we have to have peoplewe want people to be more health. We have to devise ways to do it. I am glad that this report is out. Im glad theres a partnership. Ali is one of one of nine now but i think we have many more partnerships to really create and establish what we want to do and i know the businesses will feel the i think the support that they have from the community. There will be kids watching and smiling with her parents saying, hey, lets get something that are Grocery Store and lets not send the kids down just for chips and soda and ice cream. We got more healthier foods to represent your. Im proud of the program. Im glad were bringing it in to socalled food deserts but we are on a roll. [inaudible] opened up not too long ago and we were there. Its a great Grocery Store with a lot of vegetables and fruit and at really good affordable price. For this entire neighborhood i think within a bring a whole revolution of foods in the way people eat the way they treat their own health. Again, i see supervisor eric mar. Thank you for introducing this and making sure working with our offices, do we make sure we actually implement it in a way in which it will be sustainable and really, set the standards for future stores all over our city to really have a good healthy array of products for the residents to benefit from. So congratulations, ali,. Thank you to you to the store owners to all the stores along third street for paying attention to this. In addition to the actual things you sell, we are helping with the size. Were hoping with the sidewalk looks much cleaner this month icd dpw truckshave you seen him this many times speak yes. [laughing] very much into this. Anyway, thank you everybody for collaborating and coordinating. [applause] width thank you, met as the mayor mentioned this legislation was sponsored as supervisor eric mar was joined a second supervisor mar. Thank you so much to ali and the businesses are making our community healthier. I want to say that reports are important in documenting best practices but doesnt capture the spirit of the food guardians at bayview Hunters Point struggling for healthier communities. Changing from a culture of fast food, of alcohol, and cigarettes and junk food to a culture of Healthy Communities were Small Businesses are the key partners and the backbone of making a culture of health in our community could i want to just think especially, the coalition, not just from the bayview but from the tenderloin housing corner sword Jessica Estrada and others that come into the program really bring that sense of justice for my lowest income neighborhoods and now with the omi and other neighborhoods i feel like one of the spew out [inaudible] Food Justice Movement has given birth to and my efforts especially nick gotto who supported for over two years the work on the Advisory Committee put together by Christina Kota Suzanna Hennessy and the Great Department of Public Health staff have been incredible to work with as well. I want to also just acknowledge that our food justice coalitions are critical in ensuring that we expand not only 2910 stores but we double and triple and quadruple that i think the funding that my office and other offices advocated for to double the budget this coming year after work out some wrinkles, but michael we are looking at ways to expand this beyond only 120,000 for example. I also want to acknowledge that the 75 Healthy Retail reps are important but its the hundreds of food justice leaders to come from our communities that are most important part about healthy we sell as of the vision that came out of grassroots organizing for the last ligaments the families, the seniors, the children the others that come from our neighborhood that benefit from a culture of health and shifting towards that. So its not only the transformation of Corner Stores to healthier stores and great partners with our community but its lifting up out of poverty many of the leaders that are here waiting to just lead our communities to a culture of health. I want to thank my coauthor were cosponsors melia cohen jane jane kim for their bravery for the bayview to the tenderloin brother neighborhoods and enough for Healthy Communities can also, as we developed our healthy food weedkiller Incentives Program is really blossomed but it didnt start here. From less open to brooklyn, two other neighborhoods, they been developing the model as well. I note at San Francisco claims credit for a lot of things, its really the grassroots and it is also united in solidarity with other impacted neighborhoods. I had to drive all the way from ocean beach where i live in the top northwest of the city to the south east but it is beautiful and its great to see the flowering and the rising up of our neighborhoods from our Small Business leaders like miriam [inaudible] who was also in on the Advisory Committee on the arab american grocers to african and Latino Committee standing up for healthier to make it thanks to mayor lee and many others for this amazing report but it captures the spirit of our movements. Lastly, ill take a moment to say that the passage of proposition b the sugar and beverage taxes critical. It will help fund fund so many programs in our city so we can expand not only Healthy Retail sf but many other programs to gift our communities out of poverty and to fight for a culture of health in our communities. Thank you to tom todd solo oewd [inaudible] and the department of Public Health for their leadership but especially the grassroots leaders from all our communities. Thank you. [applause] thank you supervisor mar. As i mentioned this was a partnership between the office of economic and Workforce Developers and the department of Public Health and the share believe we can improve and support Small Businesses and promote healthier communities. One of them right up to maas from the department of health. [applause] good morning. My name is battled Health Officer of the city and around the Public Health division or the Health Department. I want to start off by telling you i grew up in the Mission District and i grew up next to a corner store. One day and the people who ran the corner store or to chinese immigrants. I went one day and i asked them, how long they have been in the store because i was a kid. They had been running the store for more than 30 years and i asked them, how come you are here every single day. They were there seven days a week for 30 years. They said because they love the community. They never talk one day of vacation. Thats how committed they were to the community. For me, that had a really lasting impression on me as a child. Seeing somebody committed to the community. I just want to say, thank you because the what you are doing here impacts the whole community. The little kids that come in here, they are going to see this fresh food until you are impacting their lives. You are having an impact that goes way beyond what you are doing here today so, thank you so much. When thing i want to just do is give you a really quick message from a Public Health perspective. There are three things i want you to remember. I want you to number three, four, and 50. Three. There are three core behaviors that lead to 50 of death in Public Health. So we worry about poor diet. That is one kick fiscal activity is the other one. And then, access to alcohol and tobacco. That is the third. That goes with those three. Those three things lead to four categories of diseases could one is cancer, cardiovascular disease. Diseases of the heart, hypertension, etc. Diabetes and we know with a quebec epidemic of diabetes in children and the last one is pulmonary disease. So three behaviors lead to those four conditions that result in 50 of the deaths we see across the united states. So what you are doing here today is having a big impact in Public Health. Its people like you that really helped to protect and promote health. So its really about making a healthy choice, the easy choice. Thats what ali is doing is making a healthy choice the easy choice. Health is so important because health makes everything possible. Thank you, again, ali. Great job.
