Sorry mate, it's just the Americans that are fat
As an American, I can tell you it's true, and we don't realize it in large part because portion sizes in the US are crazy. A medium-sized beverage here would be a large in most other countries. Restaurants traditionally serve huge portions of food, supposedly originally so that no matter how big your appetite, everybody would get enough to eat and have leftovers to bring home. But now people just eat it all.
Add in all the sugar that's in our food (thanks to a health propaganda campaign that convinced people fat was bad, most fat is replaced with sugar - especially high-fructose corn syrup), which is way more fattening than actual fat, and the lack of pedestrian access to most things, and you've got a perfect recipe for an obesity epidemic of people who eat too much, drink too many sugary drinks, and don't exercise enough.

Er do people actually pay that high of fees for Uber eats? Maybe in NYC or something? I don't really use it if I can help it but I've never seen fees that high.

I have been bamboozled, swore it was

Even worse, it was made "unprofitable" by being required to have a ridiculously high standard of pension coverage, which I believe just ended or ends soon.

I've had high fees but things are hidden, like, increased prices, tips, fees and stuff? I got my license last year so now I can drive on my own to get stuff but being in the burbs without transport in these poorly designed towns blows.

I'm sure the food is cheaper if you ordered it more than 24h beforehand

It's a service offered in exchange for currency. No one is forcing anyone to request food delivery service over Uber or whatever. It's pure and simple convenience
The other is a state service, which might surprise some but manages quite a lot of citizens private information. Certainly nothing as banal as food

Shhh, Musk might hear you and destroy it.
Don’t worry they already have a plan

From one extreme to the next. Interesting.

Shopping schedule? Bro life is hard and busy, plenty of people are struggling with all kinds of issues that they can’t easily schedule around and depression is it’s own beast.
Look, I don’t order food because of the price and because I don’t want to support that fucked up business model(also because I live in a walkable city) but, and I mean this in the most “I hope you take this as an opportunity to reflect” kinda way, go fuck off with that shit.

An even better idea.

I feel so too, you get more for the same money. But getting stuff delivered has its place in situations where you for some reason don't have the energy.

That's just for cases where I'm bothering to go grocery shopping anyway. Sometimes I'm just too tired or lazy and then I'm ordering food.
