Community Store Blitz

In a recent conversation with another nutritionist, we were trying to come up with all the crazy ideas we could to find a solution facing remote aboriginal community stores. One of the wildest ideas we had was a TV show called "community Store Blitz" - much like "Backyard Blitz". Thinks about it - a TV crew come into the store, show what its like now, call in the experts to fix it up - paint the place, new shelving, fridges, computer system, training for store managers and workers, and so on. At the end of the show the store would be all "fixed up" and the crew could move onto the next store.

No doubt there are issues (such as permission from the community) to be thought about before doing something like this but it would get the issues on TV, would embarass governments, and might even lead to some action.

I'll leave this one with you to think about...........
