Nope I prefer cheap food and a large selection at a Large Kroger or Walmart then expensive food and limited options from a corner NYC style "bodega"

as do most people that live in the suburbs which is why suburbs are not "walk-able" because people leave the cities to escape walkablity

I dont want to walk anywhere but from my front door to my car

I politely suggest you might be under scoring your body's needs and how they affect your life.

I politely suggest that zoning is not the proper regulatory framework to score, assess or influence what by body needs.

This is a false dichotomy. You can have reasonably priced food you can walk to.

Basic economies of scale disagree,

Neighborhood stores will not have the volume to support a 100-300,000 sqfoot store, with all the selections I get at my local supermarket that services many many neighborhoods

There’s a lot in between those two extremes.

My favorite neighborhood I’ve lived in was on the Northside of Chicago where I had a medium-sized, independent grocery down the block on the local arterial road and a neighborhood of single family homes in the blocks surrounding it. The arterial roads have commerce, and the side streets have homes. You can walk, you can drive, take transit.

I’m sorry for you.
