[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When new grocery stores open in these food deserts, they typically cannot turn a profit and our frequent targets for theft. People don’t suddenly start buying and cooking vegetables from scratch just because there’s a grocery store nearby. Most poverty in America is a cultural issue rather than a simple lack of money.[/quote] And your source for this conclusion?[/quote] This is kind of what happened in Detroit around 30-40 yrs ago. The major grocery stores pulled out and we're replaced by middle eastern owned grocery stores. Theft was common and the food in these stores is mostly crap. Even only 10 years ago, I couldn't even find a single loaf of wheat bread! So there obviously isn't a demand for decent food. But I do feel sorry for the few people in the community who want to eat healthy. [/quote]
