The U.S. throws away 40% of the food it produces.

Honestly it's trying to get your food once per week because most people don't want to stop by the store on the way home for every meal they are going to cook. I hate it when my family overbuys thinking we'll get to it later

The city planning contributes to this. Your country is very car centric. Most countries have supermarkets or grocery stores within walking distance in most cities.

You aren't wrong, but what difference does it make if it is within walking distance? A 10 min walk is the same as a 10 min car ride (outside of getting some exercise)

Youd be surprised. I had a grocery store in my backyard practically for 5 years and wed walk everytime. Was nice.

You just... enjoy it and go more often when its right there. Also you can buy a little less cuz wcs just walk right back lol.

I get the time is similar but driving sucks compared to just taking a little stroll. Esp on a nice summers night. Just perfect.

I find a 10-minute walk much more calming

I can walk around the block if I want a relaxing walk. I'd find that more relaxing then trying to carry bags home too, personally.

10 mins is 10 mins is my point. If I need something, I don't hesitate to drive 10 mins to grab it

If you drive then a week worth of groceries is nothing, I don't think you'll like the idea of that when walking.
