Please, your lungs are black from particulate matter within 1 month of moving to NYC. Eating a few veggies from a garden plot ain’t gonna do anything.
There are residential parts of williamsburg that have never been industrial, and the soil in those yards is no different than in other city that went through the industrial revolution.
Because 11:27, the soil is contaminated with lead from the bridge, the construction and the industrial legacies of the neighborhood.
there are so many high end grocery stores selling really good fruit in williamsburg. (actually, on Graham and metropolitan – lovely very reasonable fruit/veg store) must be speaking about the immigrant population or the italians. the hipsters, the hupsters, and the yuppies are skinny and gorgeous.
Why so? – there are parts of williamsburg that were wild, then farmland, then became residential. Its not all industrial.
There used to be more produce stands in the burg, but most of them have been replaced by condos.
What I find both amusing and tragic in that neighborhood is the people who have backyard gardens and actually try and eat what they grow.
I think you can blame all the shitty ‘free pizza with your pint of beer’ deals all those cool kids live off of. Cool kidz gonna get fat…
