Poor People's Food

[pipi_k]

19. Not only this...

the stores that sell food to poor people feature cheap, over-processed starches and sugar.

But sometimes the quality of the "good" food is vastly different.


A grocery store chain (which no longer exists) in my area sold different quality food in different sections of the city, or different cities altogether.

One store in a small suburban city/town always had beautiful looking produce. The store was large and clean and well organized.

In contrast, just over the river in a different city, in a lower income section, the same store sold produce that had clearly seen better days. The store was dismal looking. Horrible floors. Not a big selection. And what wasn't produce might possibly had been near "sell by" date shipped over from the "better" stores.

The difference in the two was depressing and sad.
