Document Summary

Access to healthy food is worse in neighborhoods of colour and of low income. What we take for granted depends on where we live. Diets not only depend on taste, it depends on access as well. Food from fast food outlets, convenience stores, liquor stores. White flight causes shopping habits to change (stores follow) Creation of supermarkets (large) versus smaller stores = people could shop at one place and less often. Food distribution centers instead of little trucks delivering one commodity. Loading docks cause stores to grow in size. Restrictions on what can be sold in certain places. More money is given to cash crops that feed into fast foods = cheaper to feed the family on the short term. Pattern reinforced by zoning that makes it hard to bring in resources to older cities. Not cost effective to have smaller stores.
