Consider you're running a restaurant that serves warm food from 10am to 2pm. One cook prepares 100 warm dishes of 2 or 3 different categories in advance, by using big kettles and a large amount of ingredients. It's more efficient to buy many ingredients at once, then cook them in a big kettle, then serve them in a 100 plates, instead of every one of these 100 people going grocery shopping, spending 30 - 90 minutes in the kitchen cooking, and then eating alone. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Don_alForno@feddit.org 6 points 1 year ago (1 child) The argument isn't about walking, biking or driving, it's about delivery.
