Reddit forums are awash with people seeking help for their self-prescribed online food delivery addictions.
“It’s getting exhausting having to fight my mind every day to not buy something to eat. It feels like an intrusive thought – boom, I can’t stop thinking about ordering food for the rest of the day. Even if I eat something at home,” says one user.
“It’s been to the point where I would order two to three times a day,” another user wrote. “$50 orders each, for weeks on end.”
is this a wide spread thing ? or a beat up ?
is it this, or house prices causing cost of living concerns ? (sarcasm)
Declaring where I am at , I have never ordered online here in Australia. Way to lazy and they seem expensive. I have occasionally when OS.
My friend asked how often I got delivery. “More thna 5, less than 10.” I answered. He was surprised to find out that was my total, ever. Probably just over ten these days, less than 15 for sure.
I grew up poor, am still poor, but my answer to food insecurity is meal prep and bulk buying.
Yeah, i got delivery a few times during COVID because it was free at a number of restaurants. I’ve probably gotten delivery less than 5 times since.
