      I don't understand why y'all are hating so hard on Blue Apron. Most of the groceries I buy at supermarkets come packaged in plastic. (Yes, they're even wrapping whole fresh vegetables in plastic now, and some stores add a styrofoam tray as well!) The typical supermarket also generates MASSIVE amounts of plastic waste in the backroom that the customer never sees. Yes, there are better stores with less-polluting options, but these greener options do not exist where many U.S. consumers live.

    People that are haughtily telling others that they can just recycle the plastic bags all the Blue Apron food comes in: that's true, but only if you wash the bags. If you don't, the recycling plants will actually sort them into regular trash and send them off to a landfill during the sorting process. The plastic​ used for food is *contaminated*. And you will never convince me, or anyone critical of Blue Apron, that someone who is too lazy to do their own shopping is willing to wash plastic bags before recycling them.

      I don't use Blue Apron, and I don't plan on using it, but funny enough, that's exactly what I would do. I would be willing to wash some plastic instead of doing my shopping, as it would save me so much time and be less stressful. But I'm probably rather the exception (maybe other students that live alone?), and it seems that plastic is not the only issue with the packaging.
      Though to be fair, many foods in the store are packaged in plastic in a way that is just wasteful. I think Blue Apron could make themselves a better name by packaging their food smarter, which should be possible, e.g. they could package all vegetables into one single piece of plastic (or even paper) instead of having every piece of fruit and vegetable separated into different bags. That's just one example, but certainly could be much more clever with this than what they do.

    Just peel the hard rine off the bottom and you can enjoy the whole stalk almost.

      No joke though, you can get a whole salmon filet there for like 18-22 bucks. You have to take off the scales, but it’s super cheap and you can cut the filets to your preferred size.

      Restaurants typically cook pretty well, since that's their purpose, while Blue Apron is just a different method of *getting* the ingredients, not making the food. And you can get the ingredients cheaper than Blue Apron at the store. Farming is actually more expensive when you consider the overall cost of managing the farm between tools, land and all the labor. :D But good attempt!

      You simply don't understand a service, so you knock it? Its not about going to the store and getting the ingredients, its about not having to worry about wasting time doing that very thing. You act like everyone lives next to a store and can just grab the items in the exact spot inside. You also fail to mention that you can't simply buy the ingredients..you have to buy MORE of what they give you. So you end up wasting stuff if you are using it for just the meals alone. They send you the exact amount of stuff you need.
