Food Accessibility in Chinatown/Lower East Side
Chinatown/Lower East Side is a lower-income neighborhood.
"For every one supermarket in the Lower East Side and Chinatown, there are 18 bodegas. “
“Bodegas are less likely to have healthy food options than supermarkets."
But who decided supermarkets are the only way to access healthy food?
(Lower East Side and Chinatown)
“ Supporting others is a good thing, but it has often been accompanied by efforts to reform the ways of vagrants, immigrants, and others who appear not to share white middle-class so-called American Values”
