I just wanted to express how bizarre this situation is but not imply anything about (possible) reasons. My first thought was like just terminate the internet contract, sell the phone or computer or whatever you are using and buy you 50 kg of rice. That would be even healthier than pizza!

But I decided not to phrase it this way because this is obviously a very simplistic view and the people on the internet will tell you that in full detail even if you are aware of it. They might have free access to internet. It might be a temporary situation and not be economical to sell and later buy back the computer. Corn is much cheaper than rice. You have to cook rice and that requires energy. Rice alone is not healthy. Maybe they just do this to get in contact with others not because of having no money for food. They might need the computer for work. They just got robbed late at night, no money left but they still have a phone.
