>> Food typically ordered with these services has no nutritional value

This is complete nonsense. These services have a huge variety of restaurants and grocery stores. They're really useful for people with limited mobility who need groceries but don't have time to wait for a delivery from a large supermarket. Regardless, if someone wants to order cigarettes and alcohol on them they should be free to without having to account for your personal ethics.

"Typically".

In theory you could order extremely healthy food from these services. In theory these services could be a boon to disabled people that need to order extremely healthy food.

If you are a shareholder you might believe this. But, if you work with vulnerable people that have substance abuse issues and no income other than benefits, you know how it really works and who the customers really are.

Do you have statistics on hand? We know people order healthy food, and people order nutritionally void crap and alcohol. Without data, it's all meaningless conjecture.

So you're saying your view is biased based on your work.
