Jeez, is everything "a class thing", or what?

The lower income suburbs of New York have plenty of shopping options where you can get your organic products. Red Hook and Harlem have a Fairway with gourmet foods that accepts food stamps. Harlem also has a bunch of community coop health food stores, and a huge Pathmark that's bigger then any supermarket in the upper class areas. There are green markets all over the place.

The Western Beef she's writing about is in the meat packing district...hardly a low class neighborhood, and it's not the kinda place you see families shopping at....there's a Gristedes chain a block away, and it has all the organic stuff you want.
