You're in a hurry but you're mad hungry and must have lunch

This is why you always order a bigger pizza than you can eat. Free food for the next day!
Pizza is the obvious go-to. It's filling, and tasty even when cold.
Take it to a vet.
Is it on purpose that the poll has one good option then all the rest are either objectively bad or at least dubious? Pizza is the only non-joke answer to your poll.
Also because buying huge pizzas is significantly cheaper!
A 14" pizza is double the size of a 10" pizza (especially when you consider that the 10" pizza has a larger crust:pie ratio), but only costs a few dollars more.
10" - 78.5 sq. in.
14" - 153.9 sq. in.
Apart from the burger place (they're awful!), the rest of the food options are edible. Chinese takeout no one has eaten from, bread and cheese, a taco someone just baked and delicious cereal? All perfectly legit food choices!
You call that Chinese takeout "mysterious" and it's not yours, bread and cheese is sadder than the $30 Italian meal and the taco was in your sock drawer. I would watch Thor 2: The Dark World on super-super-super-fast forward rather than any option that isn't the pizza, except maybe the cereals but it's still nutritionally inferior to pizza and, arguably, to Thor.
Yah, this. If your hunger consumes you so much that you can't just wait I'd say it's worrisome.
Pizza is the most appealing option but 6 slices for lunch is a big meal. I'll have a cheese sandwich so I don't become a chubber.
20 to 30 minutes for lunch would be normal for me. I just grab something from the fridge and eat on the hoof if I need to. Two slices of bread and a hunk of cheese works fine in an emergency.
Don't knock cereal. Shredded wheat or oatmeal porridge are simple meals that always work well.
What if that person just had the best sweet and sour pork they've eaten in their lives? So quick to dismiss the unknown...

what do you wash your lunch down with?
a) an ice cold can of Coca-Cola.
b) whatever's under the sink
c) the last 8th of purple mouthwash
d) water from the dog dish (the dog is standing right there)
e) mystery bottle with skull and crossbones on it.
always Coca-col...wait what was your answer?
If you still have pizza that's less than 24 hours old, that's the obvious go-to. I'd throw it in my air fryer. YMMV.
My absolutely quickest meal would be a diced tomato or two in a bowl with a package of big, white, rinsed off beans. Drizzle some good olive oil, vinegar and sea-salt on top and it's done. It takes 1 minute to make. If I have a bag of mixed-sallad I'd of course use that too, and then I'm more than 2/3:s of the way to the type of lunch/dinner I actually eat almost daily, anyway.
If I have a little more time than that, I can make a big cup of tea, and two slices of toast with a fried egg on top of each (that I top off with a few drops of ketchup) in almost exactly 6 minutes.
And that's going to be filling for at least 4 hours, if not more.
Both of these options are incredibly quick, very low-cost, have a long-lasting satiation-effect, and are generally "healthy", (depending on what wonky metric you use to judge that).

A roll and square sausage slathered in hot sauce takes 10 minutes to make using my oven grill. Cannae beat it.
Hi five. Nobody understands us. I probably have to painfully explain that I'm just not hungry about three times a week
