This week the Girls Gone Green did some research on the cheap and unhealthy food options in comparison to expensive and healthy food options in the LES.  We realized that the cheaper stores have organized their products poorly while expensive stores such as Whole Foods have their foods beautifully organized. We also realized how cheap and unhealthy foods are everywhere in the LES and how hard it is to find healthy food at an affordable price. For example, in my neighborhood in Brooklyn I have not seen any healthy food stores like Whole Foods or a farmers’ market. This week we took more pictures of unhealthy “cheap eats” than healthy foods because they were harder to find.

These photos are photos from a local bodega and an example of cheap and unhealthy foods on display.

But these photos are an example of how products are displayed in Whole Foods. It’s neat and artistic.
