It's for those who can't/don't like to cook... and for those who don't
care what crap they eat... it's obviously for the TIADers.

I went to their web site and randomly looked at the first dish that
came up, not a very appealing version, you get ordinary linguine
rather than oriental noodles:

To me it looks like a lot more trouble than it's worth for what
appears to me a small portion... they don't cook for you nor do they
clean up, and that receipe can make a huge clean up chore for so
little to eat. All this proves is that's it's much more beneficial to
use my time saving method; cook large quantities and freeze for later.
Tonight will be delicious homemade split pea soup with simple to
prepare ham n' swiss on rye w/lettuce n'tomato... chocolate peanut
fudge ice cream for dessert... beverage of choice (hot or cold). I
cooked an 18 quart pot of soup at my convenience on a freezing cold
winter day and froze 1 qt portions: one pot to clean - 5 minutes.

It would annoy me no end waiting for that box of meted out ingredients
to arrive, and then knowing I'd need to cook it and clean up... I
already have all those ingredients on hand at all times... and I'd
need to clean before I could eat because I really abhor eating with a
sink full of dirty pots, pans, bowls, seives, utensiles, etc. I can
have that meal from the local Chinese take out and a much nicer
version for probably less cost, or I can eat there as they have
several tables.
The only enticing instruction for that recipe
is the section titled "BUST OUT".
