Pete Seat Blames Food Insecurity for ‘A Lot of Americans’ Because They DoorDash Instead of Going to the Grocery

EXCERPT:

SEAT: “Another thing that I would throw into the equation is — and I know this is anecdotal, but I think it's part of it — is irresponsible consumerism. There are a lot of Americans, I think, and I know some, my friends do this, rather than go to the grocery store and stock up for what they need that week, they order DoorDash or Uber Eats and pay massive premiums for convenience and then say, 'You know what? I'm going to skip the next meal because I can't afford it.' There are decisions that we make in the name of convenience."
HILL: "That's quite an argument."
SEAT: "But there's something to it. I think it's something to it. I think a lot of people buy convenience — "
HILL: "You said 'my friends,' who I'm assuming are probably fairly educated, well-earning — "
SEAT: "I'm using it as an example. But I think there are — "
HILL: "Your friends are not the friends we're talking about when we're discussing the real-life issues that people are facing."
SEAT: "I think there are millions of Americans who make that choice because it's convenient to have something delivered because they're busy, and it costs a lot more than possibly doing something that would be cheaper."
