I'm so sorry to hear that you're dealing with this! Getting food in your body is so important, no matter how you do it. There is definitely no shame in ordering food, whether you do it once in a blue moon or multiple times a week. As Dez stated, not everyone has the time, mental bandwidth, or resources to make food at home. You mentioned struggling with eating in general, so I want to commend you for making the choice to order food in the instances that you do, rather than going without.
I also wouldn't blame you for telling your neighbors off for their behavior. Things such as what another person chooses to eat and where that food comes from isn't anyone else's business. If this happens again, you can definitely tell them that your decision to order food is your own and that you don't owe anyone an explanation for it. You can also use this opportunity to tell them that you will no longer be engaging with them when they make comments about what you choose to eat and/or how you spend your money. If they continue the behavior beyond that, it's definitely okay to stop all interactions with them, unless it is absolutely necessary.
You deserve to eat, whether that food is home-cooked or ordered from a restaurant that you enjoy. Don't let anyone make you feel otherwise!

foreign hearts & exotic minds compelled her.
she had a gypsy soul
and a vibrant heart for the unknown.
