aka_monet, that is true. people arent as inventive as before. hell, i can make 10 different dishes with a pack of ramen noodles lol!

i did a paper for an african-american studies class, and took trips to different Wal-marts in my area. the paper was on the differences in lifestyle/health habits between african americans and other cultures.

so in your "nicer" areas of town (the houses in the surrounding neighborhoods run around 300k+), the food selection was better. you know how they smack big displays in the middle of the aisles? there was wine, nice organic cereals, those chips made from sweet potatoes, etc.

travel about 35 minutes away to the "not so nice" part of town, where there are no houses, just section 8 apartment complexes. their center aisle was AWFUL...those little "hug" juices in the 24 packs, store brand chips, snack cakes...

my conclusion was that stores dont waste the time or money even supplying lower income areas with the same options as the higher class. i cant say i dont agree, who lives in the ghetto and buys organic cereal??
