You don’t… understand? That people want food but don’t want to go out? This really isn’t rocket surgery.

People place different values on time, money, energy, etc. Just because you find it too expensive for the effort, doesn't mean someone who has more money and less energy would make the same judgement.

In general fast food and restaurant food are overpriced compared to home made food, and the working class often don't have time between locations during the day. Also, like 40+% of the population in many developed nations are elderly now.

The reason people splurge on greasy junk food covered in sauce is never because it is a reasonable option, but because it's an option our monkey brains are willing to make the most sacrifices for.

Democracy at risk? Earthquake destroying homes? Drought threatening thousands? Sure we could pitch in $5 for that, or instead we could get the Large meal and an extra Fries...

EDIT: I think my hypothetical was decent and important, but I don't want anybody to feel ashamed to eat. Enjoying food is necessary for happiness and abstaining from so can be detrimental to mental and physical health.

Is it that hard to understand that some people just value convenience?

People are lazy

I think its handy when I'm sick. Just last week i got delivery because i felt so shitty i could barely get out of bed.

Some people have family and/or work obligations and can't just fuck off for an hour to get a cheeseburger.
