“Everything is a risk.”

Well yeah. Thats the point of life. Without risks, life isn’t worth living. I’d rather face 100 risks a day outside then sit cooped up at home.

Also, note how they suggest the car = food. Which means someone else has to leave home to bring you said food. So someone else taking a risk to feed you is fine, as long as you don’t have to take any risks. These people are so blind to their own hypocrisy, its incredible.

There's zero risk in a completely unvetted stranger by both you and the restaurant, whose only qualifications for that job is having a car and a phone, bringing you food. Not to mention you can't see the condition of the restaurant or the quality of people working there. Let me ask everyone, if you walked into a dirty looking restaurant and saw a bunch of complete slobs standing around "working" there, would you say, "Yeah, I'll eat here." Well, just dial up DoorDash or GrubHub or whatever and there you go.

Working for pizza and Chinese places since I was born.

Yes. You worked for ONE establishment that vetted you, hired you and gets to know you. I did the same for a pizza PLACE. The GrubHub/DoorDash industry doesn't work like that. Someone has a car/phone and randomly shows up at a restaurant where they know nothing about that person, unquestioningly hand them the food and then they bring it to some rando's home. There's no accountability along the line and any maniac can do it.

When I worked for a pizza place, I was accountable to the place I worked for. I didn't just show up, grab a pizza and was never seen again. If I looked dirty or stunk or was rude to customers my job was on the line (not that I would be any of those things.) We had regular customers that knew us and we knew them. They could technically pop into the restaurant and see us. It's completely different than the "serial killer delivery" industry they've created now.

The top risk in this country both for covid comorbidity and general death is obesity, but I bet this "journalist" is all on board the health at any size, "fat is beautiful" bullshit. Don't leave the house because you might get the flu or get hit by a car crossing the street, though. Wouldn't want to that to happen before your arteries clog up and get a heart attack or diabetes.
