But the Individual is the epicentre of Change!!!111!! It is true that the Ultimate goal is social change, but change starts with the individual on an individual-to-individual basis. And if the individual wants it badly enough, he'll travel miles and miles out of the way to good food, if it is not available in his community.

Meanwhile, back in the real world, the guy who owns the Ambassador Bridge wants to build another one, which would increase truck traffic in the community to about 5000 trucks per day. As you would expect, the community (Southwest Detroit is poor and mostly Latino) has no say in this, and the stupid Ambassador Bridge already has contributed to the high incidence and prevalence of childhood asthma in the area because of the present truck traffic.
It seems the only solution is that all of Southwest Detroit should just move out of the area if the pollution bothers them so much.
