and I being the evil person/parent that I am, used them to "encourage" (force) the kids to cook. they got me back by one of them moving out soon after starting them. that messed with portion control and trading off cooking as I was getting whatever it was that gave me free shipping. we had Plated until they went under, some other one, then hello fresh for a while. Plated was much better, of course. that is probably why they went under.
