I find it a bit mind-boggling that this is quicker than just going to the supermarket to get the same thing. I'm in the UK, and if you live in a city where pre-made meal startups can deliver within 20 minutes, you can probably walk to a small supermarket within 5-10 to buy essentially the same sort of thing for less money.

Delivery is the added value here

To each their own, but when I'm hungry I'd rather take a 5 minute walk (or get something on the way home) rather than wait 20 minutes and pay more, with a smaller selection. If you live further away from appropriate shops I can see the value though.

With a dash of externalized cultural decoherence.

Even if I trusted Nestle's motivations here, which I do not, supporting your local farmers market/grocer/coop is a more ethical way to go.

The chance you have a local farmers market/coop within 5 minute walk from your home/work is pretty slim unless you live/work at a farmers market (or downtown of a city in Vermont).

Agreed. We've had 75 years of the modernist industrial program, e.g. tearing up trolly lines in favor of cars, or suburbanization as a civil defense initiative (among others). The point is not a quick solution, however the point _is_ to have livable cities focused on the human _first_.

What's the difference with just ordering food from a restaurant to be delivered? Is that not an option in your area?

Wouldn't you rather have larger portions so you have leftovers for work the next day?

So the food is trash, and yet you continue to order? Life is too short to eat garbage food. Especially for premium prices.
