Unless you operate your own farm, sooner or later you need to eat, and that implies you're buying food from somewhere.

Really? And how do you get your food if you don't go shopping? Most people can't run a self-sufficient farm.
Gotta eat. Some kind of shopping is essentially non-optional unless you grow all your food.
And using cash isn’t opting out of real-life shopping, it’s just opting out of one payment method.
What? Is someone holding a gun to your head and forcing you to go shopping? I don't understand this statement. "Real-life shopping" is just as optional as online shopping is. Hell, "real-life shopping" is more optional in this regard because you can always pay with cash and escape the aforementioned privacy concerns. You can't do that online.
