Jicama in the 'hood
Legislators and local food activists are fighting to get healthy, organic food into the nation's poorest neighborhoods.
By Tracie McMillan [2006-08-02]

  • the 'jicama' issue

    funny the last post i read mentioned the headline. i laughed when i read it, because in all my years of being an organic food person to the greatest degree that proximity and cash allows, to my dismay i have only found organic jicama once. yo no se por que.

    also found another letter fascinating, about Whole Foods prices being competitive with (expensive) neighborhood produce in the 'hoods. might be an interesting idea for them to consider opening smaller stores without the $19/lb steaks &c and just sell the veggies and fruit.

    except then they'd be putting small shops out of business. ack. okay, maybe not such a great idea. but it sure would be swell to get good produce into the 'hoods, somehow.
