It may have started with Amazon, but it certainly hasn't stopped there. The rise of online shopping has made ordering things to our door so much easier. That now includes food, and that doesn't just mean pizza or Chinese take out.
A new grocery delivery service called Instacart is starting service in many places in the state later this month, and Iowa based HyVee started a program called Aisles Online that provides free grocery delivery two years ago if you spend more than $100.
During this hour of Talk of Iowa, host Charity Nebbe talks with Pamela Riney-Kehrberg, Professor of History at Iowa State University who teaches food history, and Jon Sewell, one of the founders of Chomp, a third party food delivery service based in Iowa City about how we get our food, and how that's changing.
We also take a ride along with Jarryd Edgar, who works as a delivery driver for HyVee.
