That said, store owners in poor
neighborhoods, like store owners everywhere, know their customers and
stock what sells. If people are buying vegetables and dairy products,
they'll stock vegetables and dairy products. If people are buying
Hostess Twinkies and malt liquor, they'll stock that instead. It is a
tribute to our wonderfully enlightened policies that people can
actually use government food stamps to buy junk food, and it sells
very well.
That's pretty well how it works in my area too. just go through any
convenience store. Pizza, beer and chips is the fare of the day.
And you know this because you live in the inner city? Doubtful.
I guess the NY Times is, as usual, just wrong, because it's not a
right-wing publication?

I live in a small town surrounded by small towns.It doesn't matter
what the NY Times has to say.But if you think it's "just wrong, as
usual* I won't be the judge. I don't live in the 'inner city' and
I'll repeat what i said:

I have no doubt that a small town is as you describe, but this doesn't
say anything regarding the overall problem of poor nutrition for those
who are struggling.
The "convenience" store model is for, well, convenience. It's never
going to be for healthy food.
Get a job.
Fortunately, I have my own business. You're incapable of getting a
job, however. Have you applied to McD's lately? You never know...
Ya, heard that before. Your a legal assistant, self (un)employed.
