One man's laziness is another man's leisure time. I'd much rather have an extra hour to spend with my kids, read a book, exercise, or really do just about anything else, versus get in my car and fight traffic and parking to go retrieve a bag of food.

Sure, but how many times do they have to do this to learn?
If I take my kid grocery shopping 4-5 times a month versus three times a month and then ordering DoorDash the other two times is that really going to make a difference?
In fact, ordering DoorDash will also teach your kid how to value time. Especially if you spend it with them doing other things.

They'd be better off learning to budget, shop, and prep food alongside you.
I struggle to see the teachings behind watching little brown men bringing meals to the door.
In my opinion this scenario may actually end up promoting unhealthy habits for your children which is what these companies want.
