The lowest caste of Americans, such as hobos, people on food stamps, hicks, uneducated negroes, people who are too retarded to cook while being too poor to order food or eat at a restaurant, etc. Despite being a very wealthy country a good chunk of their population can not afford to eat a warm, fresh meal, they need to eat their frozen, mushy, robot made garbage that they microwave to survive.

I don't know where you live but frozen food is cheaper than good delivery and better than cheap delivery.

Also most places don't deliver unless you order an amount of food that's more than I should really eat in a single sitting (E.g. "One whole pizza.") and I don't have anywhere near the willpower to not eat the entire pizza, I can't leave a quarter pizza behind, it's all or nothing. Meanwhile with frozen food, I can just buy the bag/box that has an appropriate size and caloric amount for somebody my size.
