[quote Silencio]The only food you can generally get in an inner city neighborhood is fast food and heavily processed snack products from the corner liquor stores, since the big supermarket chains won't open stores anywhere where the neighborhood median income isn't over $60k/yr, and the liquor stores won't carry fresh produce.
Well, here in Orlando, they tried opening local minority-owned/operated supermarket chains in the poorer neighborhoods. They finally closed up because the locals weren't patronizing them.
