Again, consider the time element. Full time job (9 hours), maybe 2 hours transit (round trip, not each way)

That's already 11 hours. Add 8 hours sleep (probably closer to six) and you're down to 5 hours.
Out of that 5 hours do you add another 1 hour round trip to shop for the evening meal that will take you another hour to prepare? Leaving you with 3 hours to: deal with kids, shower, other daily tasks.
And that's provided that you aren't tied to a schedule where you must be home before the kids get there and therefore can't make that detour to get groceries.
It isn't that you are wrong to want people to shop better and eat more healthfully, it's that cities aren't set up to make that easy.
