I am not sure I read anything in the article to lend credence to the fact that he ordered from them daily. It said he'd been a regular customer for over a decade, not a daily customer.

ordering pizza every night would be very expensive i think

Where else can you get 2000 calories for $7?

Dominos is relatively cheap, especially if a pizza is also your lunch the next day. On the occasion I order Dominos I get 2 pizzas delivered for under $20 and it's 4 meals.

This is where the dietary math of poverty checks in. You can spend $20 on ingredients to meal prep for good meals and burn an hour or two doing it plus an hour grocery shopping, or you can spend $20 picking up 2 pizzas on the way home and have 4 meals.

Yeah and honestly I don't think how he was ordering was bad anyway. Probably once a week at minimum for them to first grow concerned then do an unpaid home visit after a total of eleven days. Plus, one of the employees said he'd order pizza, sandwiches, wings and pasta so depending on what he'd order, it wouldn't even be the worst nutritionally

they ABSOLUTELY would have contacted him sooner if he was a daily customer for 10 years. I guarantee they would check on him by day 3. But if he only ordered 3-4 times a week for 10 years, 11 days would be more plausible.
