Design Students in SF + Corner store conversion

Students in San Francisco worked with a corner store to provide fresh produce to community members. A lot of corner stores are owned by small families, but unfortunately many are not able to supply fresh produce for their community. Instead many just sell prepackaged processed foods or the bare minimum like milk and eggs. Because of their convenience they are used as the primary source of food, this leads to problems since many foods are processed and high in sodium. There was a study that I'll try to dig up stating that access to fresh produce and healthy foods were harder to come by in poorer neighborhoods than in more affluent neighborhoods. This was due to larger grocery chains being unwilling to invest in these poorer neighborhoods.

Anyway, here's the article.
