As vacant grocery property is sold, Dave’s Collinwood customers give feedback on shuttle service
The Land: Darcy Freedman, the Swetland Professor of Environmental Health Sciences at the School of Medicine, commented in a story examining the fallout when a grocery store closes and a community with already limited access to healthy foods becomes a so-called “food desert.” Freedman instead prefers the term “food apartheid, in which poorer communities and communities of color have vastly reduced access to quality, healthy food…This term (food desert) assumes the problem is not having a grocery store rather than looking at all of the reasons why investment in grocery stores is not happening in certain communities,” she said.
