Food access

January 25 2010

How do 20 million people here get their food? Anywhere and every where – from street vendors to fruit carts, kiwis on bikes and little grocery stores on every block. 

How do Flint residents get their food? On non-Farmers Market days, that trip could require at least two bus transfers to the nearest supermarket, likely outside the city limits.

Not that I want to buy a swordfish hanging from a kiosk like I see here in China…ok, maybe I do. But it does make me stop and think about how we take for granted going to a large box store for our food. Food access
