- draugadrotten 10y agoThe romans knew: panem et circenses https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bread_and_circuses https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bread_and_circuses From outside America it is easy to see what's really going on with your abundance of food and TV.
- emodendroket 10y agoOh please.
- sametmax 10y agoThat's probably what romans would have said though :) Thing is, not only this is stating the obvious, this is also true outside of america.
- ArkyBeagle 10y agoNo, that's NASCAR. And tailgating. :)
- hbosch 10y agoWhere are you from, and how do you breed such high horses?
- tdb7893 10y agoAmericans themselves are the ones consuming large amounts of food and TV. I think how much of both we have is more capitalism than conspiracy.
- emodendroket 10y agoBlue Apron food is not really cheap and you can't really "binge" on it given the portion sizes.
- dagw 10y agoJust order double portions
- emodendroket 10y agoIt's also not very good.
- matwood 10y agoWhy would you say it is not very good? I've tried all the food services, and found BA to be pretty good. It has definitely opened me up to things I would not have normally bought at the grocery store.
- dominotw 10y agoI instantly unsubscribed out of guilt when I saw one onion and one egg packaged in 6 layers of packaging. Opposite of sustainable. right?
- emodendroket 10y agoI tried the sample and I didn't like the food or find it much more convenient than just buying things at the grocery store. I haven't tried any competing services. There's also the insane amount of waste the other guy mentioned but I'll leave that aside.
- ghaff 10y agoHow much waste/impact do you think there is when you get takeout? Which is probably the main competition for Blue Apron and its ilk. Not cooking in the usual manner.
- rayiner 10y agoAnd cheap Uber commutes too.
- dominotw 10y ago> cheap food from Blue Apron cheap?
