    When living in more walkable areas you don’t feel the need to stockpile food as much. Often times you’ll pass a grocer on your commute and can grab some fresh ingredients to use that night or the next few days. This can help save money too as you can take better advantage of short sales and have more opourtunity for “eat today” type discounts. Theres also the health benefits of active transportation. Unfortunately in most western society being able to walk to essential life giving food isn’t seen as a priority in neighbourhood design.
