If the capitalist grocery stores can’t make food affordable and accessible for folks, let’s try something that does And figure it out along the way, if it doesn’t work it doesn’t work. Who will obstruct and vilify? Who will it help?

Yeah, a lot of it is because Americans eat out a lot But obviously, the two biggest expenses for Americans are housing and car / transit

Precisely. If you’re serious about affordability you need to be working on making more high density housing (and the mass transit to boot). High density housing must come first because it creates the demand and incentive to make the transit which in turn drives more demand for high density housing and so on and so on.
