    It's only fair that these companies have real time data about your private messages and smartphone use to know your hunger level and price accordingly. I don't want to pay the same price that people that didn't have lunch at the right time paid. This is still not that, but we should look forward to that idea in the future. People that find this a bad thing are just unknowledgeable about free market and pricing signals. I could call them communists, but I won't go there (yet).
