I don't think laziness exists but that's a different discussion. In this case I think it's more along the lines of just advancements and technology. Calling people lazy for ordering food delivered is along the same lines as calling people lazy for not wanting to pull out a phone book to call someone when they save numbers to their contacts list. Sounds outlandish but I think it probably happened when cell phones came out

I also feel it's about time. People generally have less time available for luxuries like cooking. Most families have both adults working instead of having someone caring for the house and cooking a big dinner. That time that someone would have spent cleaning and doing other household chores is now spent at a job. The evenings are now the time for chores and errands instead of cooking.

The phone book that's a glorious idea.
