I was in the Dominican Republic recently and went to a major supermarket, where I saw both a cold and heated foods section full of great tasting, healthy food, individually packaged. I ate like that for the whole week I was there, and it only cost me a few bucks at checkout. In Brazil, one can easily get "marmitas" (aka "quentinhas") delivered for cheap, which are ready-made meals. Now I'm in the EU and have been seeing low-cost, healthy, packaged meals in many supermarkets. Seems to have caught on. When I look at two basic options now, I see chicken breasts for 3.50 euro or a ready-made meal for 2-3 euro. Even though the chicken would be enough for two meals, I'm often pulled in by the easier, one-meal option.
