[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 943391, member: 12508"] Poor people who want to stretch their dollars as far as possible usually buy cheap food, which is loaded with cheap ingredients...like corn syrup. They don't want to buy crap, but lack of money dictates poor quality food. In many lower-income Black communities, shopping day means stocking-up on junk food, because they can get more of it for less money. It's well known that supermarkets in Black areas stock more sugary drinks and corn syrup laden foods because they are able to sell more of the product than in more affluent areas. In that sense, it is an attack on the Black community because they are the subjects of targeted marketing. This is also why you see malt liquor so heavily advertised in Black communities. It's a cheaper alternative to beer. More targeted marketing. If you'd bother to educate yourself, you'd understand that poor people cannot afford to make healthy food choices most of the time. This is such a perfect illustration of how the Right twists a legitimate health concern into an attack on minorities. (Right WingTranslation): Black people are "stupid," and being concerned about health issues in the Black community is preferential treatment for the "coloreds". [/QUOTE]
