Food deserts where people live in communities chock full of vapor and liquor stores and without access to fresh greens and vegetables is a common point among new urbanisms. Nothing spells ghettos and doom more than this obvious guide to oblivion for a community. wealthy areas can certain and have a flair for not having this problem and the place of a small nice independent fruit and vegetable store in Hinsdale, Illinois is a clear example. This small grocer in the heart of their downtown alone guarantees this very wealthy community where average household income is two hundred and fifty thousand will never have to worry about being a food desert. most of your upper income suburban areas are stocked with businesses and grocers offering the healthiest and best produce the market will allow. Inner City residents though can't have this same luxury as area stores are turned into gold mines for Arab and Pakistani immigrants to charge three bucks for a bag of chips and four for a 2 litter of cola.
food deserts need not to exist in any community and it is government responsibility to see to it these community consumer choices for such basic items as fresh food be available in every community and not just ones made up of healthy looking lawyers. Hinsdale is about the most elite and corrupt town there is people living there having made big money through government connections and so forth. The fact that areas such as this have every store locally owned and filled while other neighborhoods have shells of buildings and no opportunity for local residents to have something nice is evident of the massive inequality rich have put on this country's citizens.
