I think the point is that for most "tech startups" they are marketing-first and tech-second. If PHP gets you to first base (MVP) in 10% of the time than NiceLangX then you get 10 X more chances to throw shit at the wall and see wh

Way too much coffee and cereal bars. Plus a normal lunch e.g. meat and veg. For your needs the closest thing I found is a food delivery service for frozen home made meals. Some are.Veg only, but very tasty and filling.
