Society really does not need food delivery at all. It would greatly benefit everyone involved if they went to get their food, either from the supermarket or some restaurant, by themselves.

> everyone involved if they went to get their food Remember, food ingredients and people move around in large multi-ton vehicles as well. If you think people going from A-B is OK, then food going from B-A should be similarly OK. Infact, once you can pool together food, then the equation flips and favors food moving from B-A, rather than many people taking different paths from A-B

I live in one of the biggest cities in the world, and we get a big grocery delivery to our door bi-weekly. It's a huge help to buy in bulk vs going to get a few things daily.

  Millions of years of selection have given you a body designed to walk 10+ miles a day for your daily resources. Use it or lose it as they say. Foraging is good for you.

    You mean dumpster diving? Or are we also supposed to work a full time job?

    Yes and then we threw away those millions of years of selection to sit at a desk and in a car for 60 hours a week. It's honestly a miracle onto God that everyone isn't just constantly trying to kill themselves.

Food delivery is how walking to the supermarket every day for the remaining items is viable for us. If delivery wasn't an option I'd be far more likely to get a car.

Its amazing how you know what other people would benefit from better than they do.

How would restaurants get food if there was no food delivery? How would grocery stores re-stock? It sound to me like we one hundred percent need food delivery and you're just arguing about the specifics.

  Please stop being so disingenuous. You know exactly what I mean.

So my 85 year old aunt with dementia is going drive(which she can't) to get food? Or I can just order food and groceries for her off an app living 300 miles away.

  Is your 85 year old aunt with dementia ordering from doordash every day? Seems she would be better off in a care facility...

    Have you tried to get a relative into one? Wait is years. Instead we have to rely on people to visit her and delivery services.
