I don't mind so much the price. What bothers me is that Blue Apron hasn't really made any accommodations for gluten/vegan options, and I feel like given their price range that might be part of their demographic to target.

But yeah, I guess if you have celiac's or live with someone with celiac's you're just kind of shit out of luck for Blue Apron.

There are specialist companies that do a good job with vegan and gluten-free. Which is part of Blue Apron's problem: there's tons of evidence that they don't have much of a moat.
