Quite true--West and North Philly are two places that I know of (from personal experience--measuring this exact phenomenon on a study of fresh produce availability in low-income Philadelphia) that are produce deserts, basically. The only fresh food I saw in those 100 or so grocery stores that I surveyed were onions, potatoes, and (usually old) tomatoes. And those were the "good" stores.
