In neighborhood bodegas throughout New York City, the shelves are stocked with cookies, chips and other snack food
items. They carry staples, like bread and milk, but only one in three bodegas carries anything other than whole fat
milk and fewer stock good quality fruits and vegetables, if they have any at all. Many of the city's residents -
particularly those of lower incomes - do most of their shopping at these neighborhood convenience stores, rather than
frequenting larger supermarkets. This means that these shoppers often have limited or less frequent access to
healthier foods.
