A healthy-food revolution recently was afoot at Ama's Variety and Minimart in Pawtucket. You could almost hear the Hostess snacks shaking in their wrappers as a squadron of roughly 20 volunteers formulated a plan of attack outside the store: Take down all the junk food and tobacco signage; exile unhealthy processed foods to the back of the store; and repopulate the aisles' end caps and top shelves with fresh produce and healthy snacks.
This was no ambush, but a premeditated makeover, spearheaded by the Healthy Corner Store Initiative, a program dedicated to bringing fresh, healthy foods into corner stores.
