I know what she is saying. If you live in an urban center and have to rely on the bus or subway for long trips, it is hard to carry more than three or gour bags across town. Many urban dwellers buy wheeled carts for this purpose. I speak as someone who lived in Hyde Park, Chicago, having to carry groceries back from the Mr G’s many blocks.

BUT these stores all will drive your groceries to your door for a per bag fee. Pro lem solved.

More economical for them to just buy a cart. That a mile from a major grocery store puts one in a ‘food desert’ is just ridiculous.

When I was young, we lived in the city, didn't have a car, and the supermarket was about a mile. I had one of those carts, I walked the mile, did the shopping, and walked back. It was good exercise.

Looking at the average member of the urban underclass, it would probably do them good to have to walk a mile to get food.

Now I suppose we’re going to have a Federal Ride To The F****** Grocery Store Subsidy....

I hate these people. I mean I really, really, really hate these people.

What problem? What’s wrong with getting groceries three bags at a time? It could be a bother, but balance that against increased freshness, more exercise (which they’re always ordering us to get), and incentive for purchase discipline (you’re less likely to buy food you won’t eat the oftener you shop).

There is no problem. People just want something to complain about.
