| Food Deserts |
Fresh and Easy is located at 5800 Third St, across the street from a bonafide Food Desert. Now technically, we do have mom’n'pop shops that sell food that make it less deserted, and so technically, most of us don't live in a desert. However, these shops tend to have low quality meats, few, if any vegetables, and load up on the high-fat, low quality foods that help to provide the obesity and diabetes rates we have in this area. FoodsCo is filthy and its cold cases full of mold, while SuperSave doesn’t have the capacity to provide for the community, so we may as well be living in a desert. The few small groceries on San Bruno Ave aside, residents of the Bayview have been forced to travel away from our neighborhood to get quality food. Now with F&E, we can stay nearby to get quality food in our new food oasis.
