- cameronbrown 7y agoThe resources needed to transport stuff are not free, and they usually involve petrol instead of legs.
- johannes1234321 7y agoIt is not that easy. One delivery truck delivering to multiple people can be more efficient over them driving individually. A warehouse can be more efficiently cooled and enlighted than a shop for individuals. A big kitchen preparing menu after menu can be more efficient than heating up the oven for a single use. A restaurant using larger supply packs can be more efficient than household sizes in packaging and transport. It's a case by case thing, but average for a few domains might not be that bad.
- ghaff 7y agoCooking meals at home probably takes fewer resources and creates less waste overall. However, assuming that there's driving involved in either case, I wouldn't think having an order delivered from a big facility is much different from you going to a restaurant and picking up takeout.
- dogma1138 7y agoBecause I can literally never leave my house for anything at this point even late night booze and there is something eerie about that.
- ghaff 7y agoThere is a certain "The Machine Stops" [1] sense to it. I have mixed feelings. I can get very little rapid delivery where I live. Sometimes, I wish I could just order some takeout, but it's not necessarily a bad thing that I get forced to either go out myself or make a meal at home.
