    Food delivery has been a thing in Asia for as long as I can

    Not statistically significant. Sample size too small. Sample

    Once again, rfc completely misses my point. It is not that Asians
    are superior to white people because they came up with food
    delivery. It's not about statistics. It is that the home delivery
    trend could completely change the way Americans eat food. I boldly
    predict that cooking at home in America will be trending downwards.
    Any fool would be able to see it.

    "As long as you can remember" isn't nearly long enough. Can you
    remember food delivery in ancient Rome?
    Your only metric is Rome?
    Good choice:
