There is nothing wrong with being a vegan, but the default assumption that Veganism is great for all, especially in countries where allergies are rampant isn't always feasible. The drive by downvoting to suppress a broader perspective and impact of veganism is for everyone is one thing.

If it's lethal for you don't be one. We aren't really to the point where anyone should be legitimately concerned that veganism will be influencial enough to crowd you out of your preferred diet.

> It's just to replicate the ritual of ordering food and give you the dopamine that the real process gives you. I’m confused. How does the food-ordering process give you dopamine? It generally just gives me anxiety due to the uncertainties involved, until the food arrives in good condition, which here it won’t.

Do you get anxious when you order at a restaurant? There is the same exact uncertainty there compared to ordering ahead by 10 minutes while you are on the way there.

There’s a thing with dopamine where it’s not actually about receiving the reward, it’s about doing the things that lead to the reward.

As weird as it sounds, going through the ordering process is all you need.

I'm seeing a business opportunity for a gambling site where it is extremely cheap to play, but the payout is always 0 dollars.

You've just invented the mobile games industry.
