Single meal delivery as an institution is wildly inefficient. The absurd inefficiency of the car as delivery vehicle does not make drones a meaningfully wiser choice.

For every proposed technology, we need desperately to ask: does this really make ecological sense?

Delivering necessities (e.g. medicine) to a remote township with a drone makes sense. Drone-drop pizzas do not.
