Another thought....WALKING for a mile to get to the store would be FAR healthier for all concerned. Oh...I forgot....that’s common sense.
WHERE do these people get their food anyway? Would that be the fast food places....where it’s already prepared?......and now Ms. Obama is asking them to buy and prepare their meals? Good luck with that....
My guess is that a lot of low-income people buy their food at Wal-mart, which sells plenty of fresh fruit and veggies. Now, if they CHOOSE not to purchase fruits and vegetables and/or they eat too much....what will Michelle Obama want to do then (at taxpayer expense of course)?
Well, if Mrs. Obama thinks there should be superstores in black neighborhoods, she should look around her own city of Chicago. There are no Walmarts in Chicago because they are not union. And of course there is that pesky problem of looting that keeps all other markets out. But if there are no non-union walmarts, how come NcDonald’s is there? Or is that unionized?
In the Los Angeles area, lots of Korean immigrants take huge risks (financial and personal safety) to open up small liquor/mini marts in places where the chain grocers have been forced out. Yes, that's right: Forced out.
These shop owners are rather despised by the “community”.
I shall never understand how the left thinks it does certain minorities a favor by treating them as little, helpless babies.
Oh, and I understand that the Korean’s are getting out of this game as the “community” is driving them out as they did with the chain grocers.
We moved to Long Island in the early 50’s, none of the Moms drove and there were few supermarkets, mostly small little markets. If my Mom wanted groceries she walked with her cart or I rode my bike to pick up what she needed. Gee, we somehow survived and got plenty of exercise to boot.
