    I'm a tree hugger (recycle, compost, rain barrel, etc.) and thought I'd never buy a meal kit BUT a recent study showed that prepackaged meal kits have a smaller carbon footprint than equivalent meals bought from a grocery store and prepared at home. While everyone focuses on the packaging (much of which can be recycled), buying food then tossing it because you don't have time to cook is a huge waste. The study pointed out that when you purchase on your own you rarely purchase just what you need. You might buy e.g. a package of mushrooms rather than 6 mushrooms because the package is less expensive but then some go to waste. "One study estimates it (food production) is responsible for 19% to 29% of annual greenhouse gas emissions. The plastic that keeps food fresh certainly contributes to food's carbon footprint. A small part of this is producing the plastic that keeps food fresh. But to get the whole picture, Heard says you need to consider emissions from fertilizer production, farm equipment and processing operations and how that food gets distributed." "A substantial chunk of food's carbon footprint is waste, much of which happens during distribution and consumption. According to a U.N. report, if food waste were a country, its production, processing and distribution would be the third-largest emitter of greenhouse gases, just behind the U.S. and China. In a study from 2010, the USDA estimated that about 31% of the food produced in the U.S. is wasted, with 10% occurring at the retail level and 21% at the consumer level. " You can read the study at www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0921344919301703?via%3Dihub

    Could the sorry girls do a sustainable SIT for grocery shopping, i.e. Making mesh produce bags and grocery bags to take to the store, even including waterproof bags for things that are drippy and insulated bags to keep things cold/hot from the store to home.

    Where I used to live you can get a box full of vegetables and fruit every month from local farmers. nothing is packaged, there is still dirt on the vegetables lol and you get something different every week because its of course seasonal.
    I loved that so much because it supported local famers, forced you to try new things and it was the perfect amount for one person.

    NPR just published an article about how meal kits like this are actually more environmentally friendly, even though there is a lot of packaging, because they reduce carbon footprint for delivery, since a lot of them are direct to consumer.

    Thank you so much for doing this Kelsey, it was very informative. I have wondered about these services as a single person and was going to check some out. Now I don't have to I will just wait for part 2. So regarding what you said about the cauliflower is it not something that you chose? Maybe the best thing is to just go to farmer's markets and bring your own bags?

    @Nicki13Lover 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I did a meal box a few years ago and I really enjoyed it. I wasn't much of a cook before so being given new recipes to try with all the food right there was super convenient and fun! While I wouldn't say I'm a great cook, I definitely learned a lot!

  • @ScarlettKriss
    @ScarlettKriss 4 ปีที่แล้ว +76

    when it comes to shopping buy at actual local markets that use local growers when possible, and they have options of buying like 1 carrot, not wasting, or double a meal and freeze it.

    A couple years ago my fiancé and I tried all the meal services in the US (at the time). We loved Hello Fresh the most and consistently ordered them for months after that. We've since cut the costs and have been meal prepping and planning but I would go back to Hello Fresh if needed and of course if they were cheaper.

  • @marieleelee
    @marieleelee 4 ปีที่แล้ว +43

    Fresh City sounds like their heart is in the right place and they're on track for doing all the right things. But they clearly still need a lot of work. Web Development, better customer support and customer quality assurance (hello recipe instructions are vital for these services).

  • @rachelmaria7622
    @rachelmaria7622 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I understand wanting to try the meal kits as they are, step by step, for the sake of authentically testing them... although it sounds like lots of these problems of taste could be remedied with spice. If something is bland, add spices. For example plain rice... add soy sauce, bland fish... add freshly ground black pepper, etc. Yes, there is some extra ingredients needed but plain spices that can be thrown into a pantry and keep for a long shelf life can easily transform a meal. I really enjoyed the video and am looking forward to part two, its a great conversation about sustainability and ease of cooking that should be addressed.

    Basically, these meal kits are just shopping kits cuz you still have to prep and cook. I shop online and go pick up. I find this just as easy as these meal kits, plus It's way cheaper. :) Looking forward to part 2 though.

  • @CarolineBujoldMostlyOrganized
    @CarolineBujoldMostlyOrganized 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Can’t wait for part 2! Only ever tried Hello Fresh and I do hate the packaging. I only order when I know I won’t have time to meal plan or go to the grocery store, so I skip weeks a lot (with reminder on my phone). I wish it was the other way around where you could order when you need, instead of skipping, but I get it.

  • @kathleenlopez93
    @kathleenlopez93 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I live in an area where not too many food kits come to us, so I tried Sun Basket first and looovveee their food. It was honestly so good, well portioned and if my memory serves me right, they had great options including vegan(I remember we were surprised one was totally vegan and we hadn't noticed) and keto. We got it specifically because we wanted keto cause my mom's and my doctor suggested we do it. It made us enjoy cooking! They often even noted how you could make recipes vegan or vegetarian in their recipe page or how you can double the recipes to feed more people. Speaking of recipe cards: didn't send physical cards they were online so no paper was used for those. They often sent the items in glass reusable containers or heavy plastic which we ended up reusing them for left over spices or leftovers in general, as pill cases, etc. They rarely sent in wimpy plastic we'd have to recycle. But they stopped serving in our area :(
    Next we tried hello fresh and we have had amazing results. There are some vegan options and the more you rate the more tailored or more variety they offer(from my experience). We honestly love their food options and their customer service is the best I've ever dealt with in any industry! We actually began recreating recipes we loved and pack them like as if hello fresh sent them. It's encouraged my mom and I to cook our own meals and eat in vs out and gave us new cooking skills ☺️

    Meal kit delivery are life saving in a food desert.
    I've been trying several boxed meals before and it's been interesting knowing how to cook new food items , fresh vegetables and spices and learning techniques, incredibly low cost and having great ingredients quality so far ! People who think it's expensive come to our place and see how expensive food is getting in rural Canada ... 79$ per week ( HelloFresh) is nothing when we usually spend 450$ per week. It's life saving, convenient, amusing & you can keep the recipes to make them later 😄🙌🏼 Very excited to start another journey 🍔

  • @jennp5275

    @sipswithsteph5306 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    I've done this same thing in the US...tried about 3 different meal kit services. I had similar thoughts on all of them. Taste wise Hello Fresh and Blue Apron are the best but their also the most expensive. In the end, I chose to continue shopping for food and just plan my meals better so I'm not over buying.

    I really appreciated this video and am looking forward to Part 2. I have looked at many meal kits because I'm trying to avoid overbuying when cooking for one (I usually end up cooking a full recipe and then freezing of refrigerating several portions for another day.) It's nice to see a real person trying to follow the cooking instructions and just how much prep and cleanup is involved. It's pretty sad the only non-meat protein they can come up with is cheese -- none for me, thanks. Cheers

    We've been getting Hello Fresh for about a year now and we're rarely disappointed. I do agree it's always a lot of dishes to wash after though. I did have two ruined boxes from the ice pack bursting once and a late delivery, which ruined the meat and seafood. They replaced the box that was late, but not the bursted ice pack because they said it is nontoxic material.

    Kelsey check out Cook Smarts! It's a meal planning program where they send recipes and an accompanying grocery lists to your inbox and you do your own shopping for said ingredients. Cuts WAY back on packaging compared to meal kits and is really reasonably priced. It also cuts way down on food waste compared to not doing any meal planning. Plus you can easily sub ingredients out that you don't like (like green beans for okra (which I've done)) and everything is so delicious. #notsponned but I LOVE THEM. I've never understood why the meal planning kit companies haven't caught on to recommend simple pantry stock items to their customers. Please do not send me 3 tiny bottles of vinegar. I already have that in my cupboard.

  • @jeniferj
    @jeniferj 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hey Kelsey really enjoyed this video.I believe that in the GTA there are also companies who where you can go and it's kind of like a bulk food store where you get to pick the ingredients and put them in sustainable containers and you can take it home to cook or these places will also take all the ingredients do freshly picked from their place and cook it right in front of you in to-go meals.forgive me I don't remember the names of them but I know a couple of them do existand basically how much more sustainable can you get that you are placing them in to-go containers for your ingredients or that it's made right in front of you ready to go and you would can either eat it right then and there or have it ready to be thrown in the oven. heads up I think they are a little bit more on the pricey side but think about what packaging you're literally not having and just being able to have everything set up I'm ready to cook or ready to eat

  • @ivy_inferno
    @ivy_inferno 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    I'm beating an eating disorder and meal kits make my life SO MUCH easier! So it makes me laugh to see people being almost angry in the comments saying "THIS IS STUPID IT'S A WASTE OF MONEY BLABLABLA"... Well, just don't order it? Also, I can do what I want with my own money, thank you lol
    The pros for me:
    1) It personnally makes me think less about food, which can be exausting when you have an eating disorder.
    2) The recipes are also VERY tasty (waaaay more tasty than 95% of the recipes I was trying of the internet!).
    3) You don't have to think about what you wanna eat or search for new recipes ideas all the time. I have way more time for me this way! And it's good because I work a lot
    4) Also, being only 2 at home, we were wasting a lot of food because of the packaging offered at the grocery store (and I HATE throwing food in the garbage... well compost now eheh).
    5) My bf and me both need a lot of meals variety in our life to be happy and have a good relation with food. We tried meal preps for years before being like "well, it doesn't work for us" because either we were forcing ourselves to eat something we didn't want to eat, or because we were simply wasting the food.
    6) We can use HelloFresh's bag as compost bags so we don't have to pay for them :)
    I talked to my nutritionnist a lot about all those points, and she's very happy I found a way to make peace with food and all the bad habits I had with it!
    The cons for me: yah it's pricey. But honestly when I think of all the food waste I had before, I think it's almost the same, so... it's not that bad lol
    TL;DR: what is a bad idea for someone can be a life saver for another. :)
    (You probably noticed by now, english isn't my main language so sorry for all the grammar errors ehhe)
    Oh and btw, I tried 3 meal kits and my favorite is HelloFresh and CookIt. I didn't really like the meals of GoodFood.

    For anyone who has a kitchen this small (she doesn’t live here anymore) ikea has bar height tables that could be used as islands for seating a more cooking space.

    Just wondering why these meals dont contain veg sources of protein- tofu, lentils, tempeh, chicpeas? As a veggie myself i use all these (except tofu which i dislike). The meals seem carb heavy and i wonder how long it is beforr you get hungry again due to the lack of protein?

    Cyndie commenting: I really appreciate this video. One question, are meals portioned out by the calorie & carbohydrate counts, nutrients, etc., and did they meet your calorie/hunger needs? Thanks Kelsey, you rock!👍💕🙏

    I don't know if you have tried this, but certain things like spaghetti sauce, soup, lasagna, blanched veggies (can be great for either roasted veg or mashed veg, and different things like that. My boyfriend and I started freezing meals that we made too much of to have at a later time and so far so good. Of course there are things that don't freeze or reheat well, but the internet has been a great source for that. Also I have started reading up on meal prepping your own freezer meals. That could be an option for food waste.

    It's not a meal plan service, but you should check out Mealime! It's an app (in both Android and the Apple Appstore) that lets you set filters for diet, servings, etc. It also takes everything from the recipies and makes a shopping list for you in the app!

    I’m not sure if it’s available in Canada, but my fiancée and I get Every Plate- only about $5-$6 per meal and appear to have less packaging than the kits you tried. We used to do Hello Fresh and loved it but had to change due to price. Every Plate is a little more basic, but I find them to be tasty and quick, what you said you’re looking for!

  • @Rubester-cl6op

    Just ordered my first HelloFresh ill get the 3 discounted for sure but not sure i will continue. Its still a lot of food for one person but i like that it comes with the ingredients and I don’t have to worry about what to make: eat but the full price seems like it might be a bit much for one person. That said i still might try it out for a while as it might be a good way to get better at cooking and learn a few things.

      Also think in the winter this is perfect but as long as its not expected to arrive in the day of a snowstorm

    Maybe it’s the cook in me, but I’m wondering if they didn’t recommend a high enough temperature to cook the beets at for the amount of time they gave you. I’ve had something similar happen once with a recipe I looked up online. For whatever amount of time they told you to cook the beets at, you probably needed to turn up the oven temp.
    Just a thought. It just seems a shame that the one meal didn’t turn out well at all, and in my mind, I started troubleshooting. *sigh* Once a cooking student, always a cooking student.
    Thanks for doing this video because I’ve been curious about meal boxes and what they’re like. I never thought that some of them wouldn’t have good food. I thought that was the point.

    I would use some seasoning salts or spices of your own to give your food more flavor. Also using bigger pans or more pans, the cleaning sucks but overcrowding your pans makes a difference in the outcome of your food.
