Submitted by ksnook on December 15, 2017 - 3:12pm

Meal kits are packages that get delierved to your door with ready-to-prepare dishes that are typically martketed as easy to make, healthy and delicious. There are also easy to follow instructions and pre-portioned ingredients. The meal kit industry is growing in Canada and is currently worth $120-million as it is particularly appealing to those who want to eat healthy but work long hours or don't have time to think about shopping for food. The Globe and Mail [1] asked our FRAN professor, Jess Haines her opinion on meal kits and she believes that there are many options that "appear to be very healthful".
