There's plenty where people are free or at least feel free, unlike the US.

Why wouldn't it be if that's what they really want?

My comment is more or less focused on mental health, where there can be huge blockades to go and prepare food and it's quite common. I do understand that a huge chunk of people are simply unwilling though.

Over here things like delivery is more of a fun thing you do every 2 weeks, and not a common occurrence which is ideally how it should be. I find comments targetting people like the original quite lame as it accomplishes nothing, and the root cause is how corporations and education in the US works.

I'd like to just link my other comment but I'll rewrite my point, there's a lot of health conditions and other scenarios where someone may be unable to cook or get help in that moment.

If you have the income for it, DoorDash is an amazing option for this in the US. It's a lot simpler where I live where you can just get ready to eat fresh food from supermarkets and the restaurants deliver things themselves, but people themselves are not to blame for using DoorDash.

Not quite, there's a lot of health issues and other things that can impact someone's ability to cook on their own or get help at that current moment. DoorDash is oftentimes great for scenarios like that and the people aren't to blame.

Mockery instead of trying to think of reasons why my point could be valid is also a very low blow to make.

If they want to spend what little disposable income they have on it, they should be free and happy to do so.

I'm honestly usually surprised that gas stations are often far removed from the highway, and that people used to pump gas for you in many areas.

The ads at gas stations are so unnecessary and dumb, and the tips are so so strange.

People are free to spend their hard earned money on whatever they enjoy, it doesn't mean they are lazy either.

Obviously by being forced to either do it anyways, get help or skipping that meal?

It's definitely not, it's very recent and rapidly gaining upvotes.

For some it's often not as simple as just eat what you have at home and that's often not an option.

I don't remember at what company, but I've seen this more than once and it's always hilarious. It's quite funny watching my SO try and find the hidden mute or close ad button too. I'm glad I'm not from the US myself.
