They a Uber-like venture capital business that is looking to gain a monopoly on food, or whatever?

Trash Future have an episode on them?

Or are they just a new business model on par with Weight Watchers that is getting big due to increasing ability to ship shit quickly and manage just-in-time logistics?

The food is legit good and I'm tempted. I mean, I use Amazon, so it's not like I won't use an evil company, but, like how evil?

    I haven't heard anything about them being particularly worse than other companies, but I just have to question why someone who's considering it wouldn't just learn to cook.

    My main concerns would be:

    • Everything is shipped portioned and such, which is going to create a lot of excess packaging
    • Not sure exactly how deliveries work, but a grocery run that could last you a week or two would be more efficient than a delivery truck arriving every 1-3 days transportation wise.

    One of my goals this year is to create less waste by buying in bulk with reusable containers, and selecting products that use a minimal amount of recyclable packaging. In my case HF/BA would be directly opposed to this objective
