Maybe you need to live somewhere with more options to compare?

As one example, Tokyo has 160,000 restaurants. NYC has 21k. Divided by population that's 5x more in Tokyo.

Other example would be most major Asian cities. Taipei for example has 20-30 night markets each with 50 to 500 stalls. Kuala Lumpur has mamak food stand areas all over, often open till 4am.

Cool numbers, so are you making an argument for eating out, for getting take out, or for ordering delivery? Or for moving to Asia? Sorry I don't know what to do with all that information.
The point is you don’t have the experience of large numbers of options to know that you’re giving up.

You’re comparing few choices outside to few choices at home. others are comparing many choices outside to few choices at home.
