I live in Minnesota, US, and I am getting progressively more disabled. I still can drive, but that won't be for long, and I get a grocery delivery service for seniors every two weeks. I will need to practice the "stocking up" and mental attitudes that you mention. I won't have immediate access to exactly the food items that I want at all times. You have provided a valuable, useful tool! And who knows, if the "peak oil" fears come true, we may all have to become flexible and creative with our diets.
