My optimistic side is imagining a truck filled with a small town's worth of nutrient-rich groceries, making one trip to replace dozens of individual trip to a less-than-convenient grocery store.

My pessimistic side is imagining a truck with one or two people's worth of shitty "American" groceries, making the same trip they would have made to a grocery store down the street.

I feel like the reality heavily leans to latter, but I only have anecdotal data to back that up.

    Hard to say. I'm not sure of the delivery radius that's allowed here and whether rural food deserts would even be eligible or not. I was just mentioning that ordering (non-perishable) groceries online and having them shipped does have a legit and unfortunate use case.

    Back when I lived 45 miles minutes from the closest grocery store, I'd order my non-perishables online and they'd usually come via UPS or FedEx.
