While not having lived there myself, I imaging US suburbs would be equally detrimental to my walking habits.

    But going from grocery delivery to walking to the store is not integrating it into your everyday activity. That's restructuring your life. Sure, I could walk to work and back every day I go to the office, but it'd be 45 minutes a day. That's a highly non-trivial time investment. And it wouldn't get me the equivalent of what I get from my under-the-desk treadmill, which requires a time investment of approximately zero.
