Nice article, and good data find. I think a point missed at the end about how we can potentially avoid "healthiness" as a premium/luxury option is by setting a base-line, with canteen style food. Here is an HN discussion about "canteen-style dining": https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19792674. India also instituted a similar program at their Aganwadis: https://www.akshayapatra.org/anganwadi-feeding. In addition, there was no coverage about the environmental impact of "Cooking-as-a-Service". It could be worse because of having to transport the goods (and keep them warm or cold), including the packaging that may be disposed, or it could be better if the packaging was re-usable (sent back somehow? everyone uses identical swappable packaging?) or it turns out that scheduled deliveries is more optimizable than N houses all driving to the same restaurant.
