A college-educated black woman is more likely to die in childbirth than a white woman without a college education, partly because local hospitals in black communities closed due to corporate takeovers starting around 2008. Black Americans have a higher rate of chronic diseases, contributing to their second-highest COVID death rate, at three thousand per million.
This rate contrasts with Haiti and Nigeria's fourteen per million, despite low vaccination rates. The speaker attributes this to food poisoning, noting that 70% of the $80 billion SNAP program goes to processed food, and 10% to sugary drinks. 70% of school lunch programs are also processed food. Black Americans live in food deserts; in Bedford Stuyvesant, the nearest grocery store was once 75 blocks away. The speaker advises against eating packaged food, calling it poison, and aims to change this system.
