Hello Plastic!

I recently signed up for Hello Fresh, which delivers a box to your door every week with six meals--three recipes, two portions each.
I’ve signed up for the first three weeks--with some attractive discounts. After that, my guess is I’ll go with once per month. It isn’t cheap, maybe 6 pounds per meal. You are paying for the convenience of having all the ingredients delivered to you with three sets of instructions.
I’ve made two of the meals so far and they have been fabulous. Really good. The drawback has been the packaging.

On the left are a box of tofu, a tube of yoghurt, and a small container of fresh cream. On the right are three plastic encased ice blocks and one large insulated bag. The lining of the bag is some kind of synthetic insulation.
I guess the bottom line is you can’t be green and convenient.
