Well there are a lot of reasons poor people buy shitty food, some is ignorance and marketing, but most low income areas are "food deserts". Hard to find a "Fresh Market" in the hood, and without a car...

I don't accept this as a replacement for nutritional assistance for the poor, but I think it's a great idea for everyone regardless of income. We grow most of our kitchen/cooking herbs in a 4x6 raised bed, and enough Tomatoes and Kale to supply 80% during the season. But it takes diligence to stay ahead of bugs and do it organically.

I think a better solution would be collective organic farms which would be supported financially or via labor (or ideally some mix of the two) by the participants, but managed with scientific expertise.
