On the other hand: I've had times where I simply couldn't cook for myself much. Broken elbow, sickness, and whatnot. I would have benefitted if I lived by myself: Folks in this situation permanently can actually order more than pizza now, and I'm pretty sure that's a good thing. I'm not always sure it adds to the footprint, though. While I'd take public transport now, it hasn't always been the case. Each of those folks ordering delivery would likely take their private vehicles to the eatery - each order = 1 vehicle. On the other hand, you can deliver more than one thing per trip. 1 vehicle = multiple orders. And it gets even weirder when you consider that some of the folks delivering are using bicycles instead of cars - I certainly wouldn't be able to bike. I simply don't have the leg strength to get up the mountainy inclines here. And then everything changes if they are using electric bikes, too (I don't have access to this one).
