Right? I don't know that I would appreciate this service so much in a non-pandemic world. There is a definitely plus right now in grocery delivery; it makes one appear safer. Maybe it makes one feel safer. (Depends on the one in question, I believe.)

In fact, I'd previously used another meal kit service before the pandemic (like, a few years before) and quit it -- out of boredom, if I remember myself. And there is something to the defined form of meal kit dinners --- meat, carb, veg -- that doesn't resonate with how I suspect most "real people" approach their "real dinners." Certainly not me. But -- i suspect -- the format cannot truly be faulted, either.

As for plastics, I'm a consumer that tries not to put my produce in plastic bags when I buy it from the grocery store, yes. So this does result in more plastic use for me. However...how many other people can say that? Because in review, if you buy your produce and put it in a plastic bag....you are creating just as much waste as a kit.
