[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Meal kits are for people who can't or don't like to cook. They create a ton of waste and aren't very good. They are to cooking what paint by numbers kits are to creating art. [/quote] OP here, and I disagree with the metaphor. When you open the box, you've still got everything you would if you had planned or shopped yourself. You've still got to spend the time cooking—they don't make that part any easier! And all they really are is a recipe card that has the same instructions that anything you pull from the cookbook shelf or get out of a magazine. It's as paint by numbers as using any recipe is. The metaphor only really works if you'd ordinarily be cooking by feel, sizing up your ingredients and adding a bit of this and that to make something nice. Agree that I've never found them particularly good. [/quote]
