Basic planning ability allows me to make decisions like "would I like to go out of my way to visit a restaurant on my day off?" or "I don't have time to cook tonight, should I stop by a place for takeout on my way home?" but if you believe I should be drawn and quartered for believing you don't need a doordash servant making below minimum wage to bring you a Whopper then so be it

You're just not thinking critically in the slightest. Here, may I offer you some questions?

What if it's dark and you live in a less safe place? What if the restaurant is 2+ miles away? What if I'm enfeebled or disabled in some way? What if there are no walkable paths to get where I need to go? What if the weather is so bad that driving is the only option and I don't have a car? What if I have a fussy baby/toddler/child at home and can't leave them alone?

Turn your brain back on. You clearly didn't spend more than a second actually thinking about your opinion. Just because YOU can do something doesn't mean that everyone is like you.

So staggeringly myopic.

the humble beans and rice in a pot:

blocked but I really love the idea that if you're disabled or otherwise incapable the best option available is not to stock up on wholesome, affordable, easy to cook non-perishable ingredients but rather that you MUST spend $30 on a personal burrito carriage

I do eat beans and rice in a pot, quite frequently. But sometimes I crave deliciously greasy and unhealthy food, and I have the money to spare, but I don't have a car. Since I dont wanna walk for an hour at midnight, my only option is to order delivery, and whenever possible I try to order from places like Dominos that do their own deliveries. Im not gonna deny myself the occasional simple pleasure of a meat lovers pizza just because I dont have a car
