They a Uber-like venture capital business that is looking to gain a monopoly on food, or whatever?

Trash Future have an episode on them?

Or are they just a new business model on par with Weight Watchers that is getting big due to increasing ability to ship shit quickly and manage just-in-time logistics?

The food is legit good and I'm tempted. I mean, I use Amazon, so it's not like I won't use an evil company, but, like how evil?

    I'm struggling with decisions like this especially with Amazon and fast delivery. At what cost? But then again the onus is put on the individual but does it even matter? At this point out only path to making any difference on climate change seems to be large corporate changes in the energy sector. Finding out we still had one of the hottest years on record and even with coronavirus lockdowns , etc it still didn't seem to matter on our carbon footprint. I offer no hope.

      Yeah it kinda sucks. I contemplated using Instacart curbside pickup to minimize my own traffic in grocery stores. I thought maybe their workers collected groceries and put them out, which would be a pretty great measure in stopping the spread. But I found out their employees are usually forced to go store-to-store, which would increase the spread more than if I just went alone. I don't even care about protecting myself, I wanted to protect others - but this system just harms others even more while keeping me protected. Fuck that shit.

      I'm a doomer, for sure. Just looking to enjoy life and minimize the evil I do in the world, but also realize there is do ethical consumption under Capitalism, so got to choose ones battles. Figure I got a few evil coins to spend by minimizing my meat consumption. Plus, it's not like Kroger is a great company either
