I take 5 miles of walking over 5 minutes of traffic everyday.

If you have 8h of time to do work including commute, like most parents with kids in daycare, then taking long walks is a pretty big luxury. Unless you can do work (calls etc) during the walk of course.

If you would otherwise take time for exercise at other points in the day, you're actually saving time by walking :)

5 miles would take me 80 - 90 minutes walking... that's a lot of exercise time. (I walk about 2 miles every day)

The parent didn't ever say that time had no value. They just said they're fine paying with it to avoid the discomfort of traffic.
