Todd points out that Red Herring tries to put positive spins on things, and it's not managing to do that with the net grocers. To me it's obvious: around the turn of the century the rich ate processed food, but now it's the rich who can afford to eat fresh food. The net filters fairly effectively for income, and the net customers are those who want the fresh stuff. Catherine and I had fresh produce delivered for a while, but in the end we want to make our own decisions at the market on what's fresh, what fits in with what we like to make, and so on. Anyway, some interesting links on the future of net groceries:
