Do they live in areas substantially different from mine?
Probably. The article is talking about how poor people are fat. At grocery stores in poor neighborhoods, healthy stuff is significantly more expensive, or simply does not exist. For instance, a can of black beans at the ghetto grocery store by my apartment near Bushwick costs twice as much as it does at the Whole Foods in Union Square. Produce is rarely available, and when it is, it's almost spoiled.
- hughprime 17y agoFor what it's worth, the "local supermarket" I was talking about is on the border of Oakland, and the area is so ghetto that they keep not only the liquor and razor blades, but also the toothbrushes and condoms, in locked cabinets. I see plenty of fat people there.
