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.
Every few months we visit Melbourne to take the kids for a city trip. We order uber eats at the hotel because it’s just easier than trying to visit a CBD restaurant with two little kids.
I’m in Melbourne twice a week for work and I always go out and buy lunch. At home we have a pub that opens 3 nights a week, of course I’m buying lunch when I’m in the city.
But I can’t understand the thought processes people have outlined in the article. Someone just spending all day thinking about food and what they’re going to order, that’s fucking insane. Multiple food deliveries per day? What the fuck
