>It takes your body a little time to actually get at it all, so it doesn’t spike your blood sugar as much

And that's also the reason that fruit juices are really not that healthy.
Sure, you're getting some vitamins, but because most of the fiber is gone there is nothing keeping the sugar from being absorbed very fast.

It's better than sodas but not really good altogether.

• What meat do I buy?
• What vegetable goes well with that meat?
• How much of either do I buy?
• What kind of pan or pot do I use?
• What temperature setting do I use?
• Do I use oil or butter? Which kind? How much?
• Seasoning: When and how much?
• When do I put my meat in the pan and when do I take it out?
• Do I have to boil the vegetable first? If yes, how long?

You probably don't think about most of these questions because you already can cook, but someone whose highest culinary achievement is spaghetti with ketchup certainly will.

A lot of these questions get answered by a meal kit service.
And so you learn and gain experience.

Will it make you a great home cook? Probably not, but neither was that the topic of this thread nor did I imply it would.

Regarding waste: A meal kit saves waste, because you have exactly the right amount of food, so no leftovers.
If that diesel truck drives from HelloFresh to my door or to the supermarket (where you have to get it from somehow) is not that impactful imo.

Oh and knife skills? Do you think every dish from a meal kit comes pre cut?

Using a service like HelloFresh or Marley Spoon can help greatly with getting comfortable with cooking!

It takes away two of the hurdles: Buying the right ingredients and knowing when to what during cooking.
So you can ease into it, learn the mechanical side and get experience.

Is this actually something feasible or another catastrophe like clean coal?

Stop bitching about everything just because it could've been better.
Living in a democracy inevitably comes with compromise and this is a historic step and should be celebrated!
