I would start by blaming the agribusiness and city planning for that. How do you expect poor people to be able to eat well without a decently priced farmer's market within biking distance ?

Urban grocery stores have decent food, including some organic options, and it is possible to obtain a solid diet.
Farmer's markets don't take food stamps but there is a an urban farmer's market a 15-minute walk from the housing projects described above.
The problem is not access, it is policy. All these "progressive" mayors and governors really show their true stripes on this one. They don't care what poor people eat. If they did, they'd do something about it.
Meanwhile Coke and Monsanto keep raking it in on our tax dime.
Hmm, I thought that you were talking about one of those "food deserts". Are they actually just not that common in the USA, or were your neighbors just lucky ?
