500 Produce Carts Coming to New York Neighborhoods
In the half dozen or so times that I’ve been to New York City, I’ve always been intrigued by the number of people who purchase food from vendors on the street. It always smells great, but eating a hot dog from random cart seems a bit dicey to me. Evidently the carts (and other factors) are proving to be so popular that NYC is in the midst of an obesity crisis and looking to help make healthy options more readily available.
Beginning later this summer, a new brand of carts is going to be hitting street corners in the lower income neighborhoods of the city. Unlike their popular counterparts, the new version will only stock fruits and veggies.
Good idea of idealistic nonsense?
