> As far as I can tell it's the most economically rational thing for me to do, as my income is well into the six-figures and so as I don't particularly enjoy grocery shopping, cooking or cleaning it's a better use of my time to work and pay as much as I currently am ($2700 /month) to meet my daily nutritional needs.

Are you paid hourly? If not, your premise is flawed. Assuming you are in the US, you are generally expected to work around 40 hours per week. Any additional time spent working is free labor. You're on salary, and don't qualify for overtime, so you won't be paid more.

The most rational economic decision you can make is to learn how to cook, and shop for ingredients that can be used across multiple meals you like. Learning to cook has additional benefits:

- You can prepare your favorite meal(s) whenever you want without having to wait for the restaurant to open, or delivery driver to arrive. - You can host/impress friends, family, and potential partners.

Stop working so much, and start living a little!
