Lol@ regular supermarket. I prefer the finer things in life, especially since your wonderful tax dollars are providing them to me

Sometimes people in poorer neighborhoods don't have decent supermarkets, hence them traveling to the Whole Foods. I live in a poor neighborhood, and before Stop and Shop opened last year, I didn't have any place worthwhile for fresh produce or meat. It was either Waldbaums 60 blocks away or take a drive to Costco in Nassau County. But what poor person has a car?

Keep in mind two things children that are poor should be allowed to have snacks within reason. Also I never heard of snacks being a Luxury. Some people need sugar like a diabetic person who needs a candy bar etc every so often.

True, I was reading an article about that some time ago. There are a lot of areas in NYC that need good supermarkets. But of course, that'll take money away from the little corner bodegas that sell rotten fruit.

I guess I speak from personal experience. Majority of the people who I know personally that live in the projects do not have cars.
