Quote "Many people think that easy access to supermarkets is one way to keep a community healthy. But getting supermarkets to stay open in some neighborhoods isn't easy: Supermarkets work on a profit model, the wrong logic for a cash-strapped neighborhood.
Without easy access, low-income people might not be able to travel to a supermarket outside their neighborhood.
Some local organizations and residents are working on other ways for Syracuse residents to get healthy food — especially fresh fruits and vegetables. One is Syracuse Grows, which helps community gardeners with resources and education. Syracuse Grows has 13 member gardens on the city's North, Near West and South sides."
