What sounds dystopian about it? Honestly, I think the amount of takeout that would be involved is more revolting to me than Blue Apron. My ex and I subscribed to Blue Apron for several months (I think 3 meals a week, but maybe it was only 2). In all that time, there was only one meal that we didn't particularly care for, and I think we might have screwed up preparing it. We found the recipes to be top notch and the ingredients to be very good (although the amount of garlic they ended up sending us got excessive after a while).

It was a great experience for us. I would recommend it.

Always these comments :p. Obviously we both know the poster was just making a point that you could possibly do Blue Apron only for home meals.

I don't care for food. I know most people do. Most people care about variety and possibly some sort of cooking sometimes. I do cook chicken in bulk, but that's a pretty quick process. Otherwise I'm perfectly satisfied having the same 2 meals whenever I am at home for those meal times. One of them includes Soylent, the other includes 1-2 glasses of milk.

I can still go out and enjoy social lunch or dinner with business acquaintances or friends.

If you don't care about food, why are you responding?

The only value adds Blue Apron gives are pre-portioning, recipes, and delivery.

That might not be worth 594 million (at last count).

Simply because you don't care about food doesn't mean nobody else does - in fact, you said that most people do care about food.

Exactly what value does your comment add to the conversation?

I responded to someone saying Blue Apron for home meals seems dystopian. How is my comment not relevant or adding on to the conversation? Blue Apron for your home meals does not seem dystopian to me. I'm replying to that notion.

That answers both of your quite condescending questions.

Guess you never wanted to let us know how your comment added any value to the conversation, huh? Or why you responded?

It just sounds sad, honestly. Cooking is not hard, and it can be downright easy with just a small amount of ingredients and whimsy. There are hundreds of dishes you can make in a single pot! There are fantastic recipes with three ingredients.

Blue Apron is a meal-kit. You're still the one cooking.

What about only takeout? That seems fairly normal.

There is so much added oil and salt in takeout food, not to mention low-quality, cost-saving ingredients.

Not a healthy option for everyday meals.

That seems pretty bad as well.
