I only demand the raw ingredients to be grown halfway around the world, shipped by climate-controlled container in giant cargo boats, trucked from the port to the backstore, kept in refrigerated display cases, and sold in disposable containers.
But it's the last mile that's going to change the world, you see.
Are you trying to say food delivery could be efficient? I'm not sure if I'm reading this correctly, because even as someone who isn't involved in shipping logistics but is involved in some conceptually adjacent logistics, it's absolutely clear to me why the last mile is harder/more expensive than the "other miles". Especially in takeout food delivery because of the additional constraints.
Or is this sort of like, pro super-independence and we should avoid shipping in general and prefer local resources?
