No, definitely not.

But access is not the same thing as affordability.

So one Brookings Institution study looked at grocery delivery in 2021 and found that 93% of Americans, including about 90% of people living in these USDA-defined food deserts, had access to fresh groceries or prepared food through at least one of four major delivery platforms.

platforms, Amazon Fresh, Instacart, Uber Eats, or Walmart.

And that's actually a higher share than households with broadband internet, which is only about 86%.

So yes, the digital reach for delivery is real.

Yeah, right.

Now delivery markets have changed since 2021, with some areas expanding and others contracting.

So those exact numbers have almost certainly shifted.

But the broader point still holds.

For many Americans, physical proximity to a grocery store is no longer the only way to access one.

I mean, not quite, but here's where it gets complicated, of course.

Yes, the delivery zone coverage is extraordinary.

DoorDash alone says it reaches over 11 million people living in USDA-defined food deserts.

And then you look at what it actually costs and see a price problem.

Here it comes.

Yeah.

So Instacart says directly on its help pages that

that some retailers charge higher item prices on the platform than they do in stores.

What I've read, that seems to me to mean every store charges higher.
