From the paper: "Issues with category "food" have the highest number of votes cast, over 73,000, and the largest number of issues, at 150."
If you think about it, food is probably the most personal and least likely thing you'd delegate, as you have your own preferences and it doesn't require expertise in the subject. If it were for more serious things in which expertise is required, it's more likely people would delegate votes; for example, if there was a vote on the California drought using this system, I'd probably delegate my vote to a hydrologist, as they know more about the subject than I can reasonably gather.
