This shit is wild. I can’t tell if I’m watching Silicon Valley or Game of Thrones.

We’ve tried a lot of meal delivery services over the last 18 months and, eh, it’s not great. Meals are variable — some give a choice, others it’s a weekly surprise. I struggle to eat wilted spinach, and it’s a poplar “leafy green” side dish. But wow, it’s so much trash. So. Much.
