Convience at it's Prime



This is a picture of a convenience store, 7-Eleven, directly located across the local library in San Leandro. Every time a resident passes by this area, one would agree that they have seen, for at least one time, kids sitting outside the library eating food they had just bought from 7-Eleven. Normally after school, the kids walk to the library where eventually their parents pick them up. During the time in between, the kids would without a doubt, walk across the street to buy a some chips or some type of unhealthy snack along with a drink to eat outside the library. At times, they buy a slurpee when it is hot. This is just another way of how the parents are indirectly allowing their children to be malnourished. The parents can see it as just allowing their children to grab a snack while they are on their way to come pick them up. However, the more often the children are buying unhealthy foods, the more malnourished they are getting. This is affecting the kids who walk from school to the library after school everyday.
