Haha there are a great many North Americans that live 10+ minutes minimum by car from the nearest grocery store.

I'm a walker (depressingly rare in North America) and my closest shop is about 6 minutes away. I'm considered insane for being willing to walk 40 mins to work

My dad thinks i'm crazy because i walk or bike to my sister's or his place, which is like 40min by foot. Yeah man, if i were as fat as you that would be crazy

40 minutes is clearly in the range of doable walks, although if it were a commute I'd do it by bike every time which would shorten it down to 10 minutes, probably.

Haha yup, can confirm! It's a commute, I used to ride a bike (half the time), but then the lady moved in and we switched to walking for no real reason. It's about 3km each way but makes for a nice bookend to the workday :)
