I began my research to understand the different supermarket demographics on Saturday 9 November. I began my search by also driving about five minutes from my home to the Whole Foods in Cranston, Rhode Island. Turning on my left turn signal, I noticed that Whole Foods contained its own large portion of the parking lot. Parking was easy entering the lot, there didn't seem to be many people walking around the lot. Each space in the parking lot did not seem to be far from the store, the parking lot was spread out so that the farthest space was considered close in other parking lots. I entered the store shortly after parking my vehicle. The first thing that caught my eye was the “full leaflet” which was quite visible at the entrance. After looking through the flyer, I went to the products section. I asked a worker in the produce section if all the fruits and vegetables were in season. He assured me that everything on display was in season. Another really interesting thing I noticed was that all the prices were listed under each fruit, also giving a description of each different type of fruit. The fruit was stacked neatly on top of each other, as if each pile had not been touched or moved. Vegetables were also in the produce section. I noticed that the labels were a little different and distinguished whether they were organic or conventional. Conventional vegetables were cheaper than organic vegetables. Also going back to fruit, I saw a woman ask one of the employees if she could have just half a watermelon and they cut it right in front of you. The fruit is easy to find whole, but there's also some in the fridge that has prepared meals...... middle of paper ...... kets like Price Rite. I learned that by paying attention to people when they are shopping, consumption habits across social classes are totally different. People who earn more money prefer to pay a higher amount to get better food. But a person with less income can buy a lot of food for less. Social class affects the quality of food a person eats and their health based on their income. If a person has barely enough money to make ends meet, they won't shop at Whole Foods. So if they don't shop there, the food they buy at Price Rite won't be as healthy as someone who earns enough to be able to buy that food. Healthier foods can be accessible to everyone, regardless of social class, if big meatpacking companies would actually take the time to care about people's health and make things healthier. Food prices rise but more lives will be saved.
