This is common in Israel where all but the largest companies (FAANG) give you lunch money instead of free food, so it's a matter of choosing between eating out or ordering in - the cost is the same.

Facebook also lets engineers (and only engineers, oddly) eat out on Wednesdays.

"Lets" ??

Since when is a company allowed to dictate where employees can eat?

Taking a wild guess here - which you could have done - they probably mean they Facebook lets you expense it, rather than just lets you do it.
