Agree. It's no different than buying canned beans or hamburger patties. No one wants to cook the beans or butcher a cow for it.

So lazy. It's not good for you if you don't butcher the cow yourself.

Actually you need to raise the cow as well. No point getting a cow to butcher from someone else. God only knows what they’ve been feeding it. And let’s not get started on antibiotics and hormones…

Seriously! And don’t even think of buying commercial feed. Only organically raised grass from your own fields for your small herd. (I’m assuming you want beef more than once a decade — and really can you trust a calf you purchased from someone else? It might have been exposed to toxins in utero.)

Oh god. The richest people I know have this pristine sub-zero freezer with some of these in it. And flour in a ziplock bag.
If they cook at home, this is what they're eating. (Not the flour. I don't know why the flour is there.)

We mostly cook from scratch with a focus on quality ingredients, but I'm not above a frozen meal in a pinch. We keep the Costco beef + Italian sausage lasagna on hand for emergencies, and a few frozen pizzas.

It's better than most people on this site can cook themselves.

When I was seeing a nutritionist for an ED I made a disparaging remark about frozen meals -- something about how awful they were and how I would never eat them. My nutritionist said that they have come a LONG way since what we remember in the 80s and 90s, and are not so bad when you are in a pinch, it's not all weight watchers meals anymore.

Anyway my kids like the Raos meatballs.

I used to buy Lean Cuisine pasta + veg ones all the time when I was in my early 20s and working every day in an office. They used to be like 3/$5, which is a great price to cover a meal out of home when the alternative is $10+ purchased lunch. I still buy them on occasion when I have a lot of in-office days, but with telework, those weeks are a rarity.

No one buys them. The stores just keep them around for decoration.

I eat those regularly. I stock up when they're on sale.

+1 Rao’s has a couple of other good ones like meatballs or 4 cheese pasta bake

My DCs like these for their lunch, especially the vodka pasta.

Are you new here?

I have been on here longer than I care to admit and it’s still boggles my mind.
