Thumbs up y’all😷👍👍👍

That’s cool
If people retrained themselves to eat more fresh whole foods the world would last much longer.
Bravo on these young entrepreneurs.
imagine something so deadly 99.5% of people won’t even notice if they catch it, and the state has to force you to care about it. Oh but forget about the fact that it’s an election year and mind no thought to all the super rich people that buy politicians and own all the news are doubling and tripling their net worths. Your smart because you listen to NBC and know exactly what to think and say because NBC tells you everyday what your allowed to talk about and think about.
Great job!!!
I am so proud of all of you!
I am so happy to see this. I am inspired👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Now build a manufacturing plant and provide family wages…
Good for them! They are very clever..switch from alcohol drink become more healthy life style food. The millennial and generation of Z are more become entrepreneurs, initiative to create own job and not depend on the ordinary job. Well done guys! 😊👍

These kids have a better work ethic than many adults. Excellent idea and well done youngsters! Keep up the excellence. I would definitely spend money with them if I lived there. Fresh produce is what people NEED to consume instead of junk foods.
What? 99 Bananas don’t count anymore?

Thank goodness for these young people
Awesomeness market
Your kidding me right daph
I am so happy to see this. This is what is necessary to change health outcomes of people in the community.
Good for them i hope one day they’ll own a grocery store.
I hope these youth and the organizers of this fresh market will succeed and expand to more locations to outnumber the liquor stores. Seeds of hope in these troubling times.
Good job guys…kuddos to you all.
Wonderful
This great! Finally some positive news!
If we’re being honest, white people fostered that stereotype.
They need to stop the hate, it’s 2020…
people need to make a little extra effort to support these kids…their trying to change people’s lives for the better we as adults can at least recognize this and help…
Respect !!
Food Deserts are Evil BS
BRAVO! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 One step in the Right Direction can lead to Paths of Greatness .Each One Teach One and So On and So On .👏👏👏👏👏

A great group of kids implementing a great idea. Love their spirit and enthusiasm. And their veggies look great!
Well done! I am so proud of you. I wish you the best for the future and that we change the way of thinking. Reusable produce bags and carrier bags are also great to reduce the supermarket packaging.
The new generation 🎉💪🏼👍🏼
great job kids you are the future along with other great peers of all races… unite stand as one
Pretty funny seeing people of color serving people gotta be racist.
About time NBC has a positive story on trump supporters instead of democrats burning down the citys!! Good for you!
I love that! A fresh veggie and fruit market. Good job!
Inspirational, remarkable, people loving people. 🍊🌞🌻
I love what the kids are doing in Chicago & hope it catches on all over the nation. Good on them.
Why not turn that area into a grocery store…
You guys are AMAZING.

May God bless those wonderful young people! They are our future, so, things are looking up!!!

#Trump2020 and vote for Trump and 🇺🇸👍👍👍 save this Country from the far left..Jump on the Trump Train in #KAGA2020

Great idea and follow your dreams kids coz between Kenosha and 14 Y.O. Kids getting shot on the street in Los Angeles there is a lot of bad news out there right now. When U graduate DON’T get pregnant and instead travel the country or world. U can learn so much just by travel and all U need is a car which U can sleep in to travel the U.S……It can really open your eyes to possibilities and how communities work.
Mad kool!!!
amazing role models. this needs to go viral
