Hi Tld221, has it been your experience that the supermarkets that you describe as "low-end" do not carry healthy food like vegetables, fruit, etc.? I ask b/c although I too have noticed a difference in what neighborhoods have Whole Foods or Trader Joe's, I still feel like even the "low-end" supermarkets carry basic essentials for healthy eating (it may not be as extensive or creative as Whole Foods or Trader Joe's) - but perhaps some actually do not carry those basic essentials.
