Has anyone considered the ecological implications? From the photos I've seen the ratio of packaging to food is huge for these types of services...

  It's the main reason I didn't continue with HelloFresh (in Germany) after a short tryout period. My reasons for trying it out were a) curiosity b) seeing if their recipes are good and c) having less leftover materials when cooking for 2 people (for 1 is even worse) - I was not prepared for the amount of plastic packaging. Also the meals were generally good, but not spectacular. They take as long to prepare, you need to be at home to get the delivery. The only upside is not having to go shopping - and if you any non-standard ingredients I always have to go to the further bigger supermarket, not the 2 that are easy to walk to. The cost was maybe 0-20% higher than buying it yourself. More toward 0% with nice cuts of meat, more like 50% markup if you did some non-fancy pasta or pancakes or whatever - but you could choose to ignore those, to be fair.
