Most of the preprocessed meat maybe. I've never put chicken in my meatballs. And meatballs are easy enough to make that for the life of me I can't figure out why anybody would buy them premade. Make a large batch and freeze them yourself. They'll be a thousand times better than the trash you can buy at the store.

This. Or even making your own marinara sauce. It’s payoff for the amount of time invested. NYtimes has a good recipe that takes about 20 minutes. The only trick is to find really good canned tomatoes. https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1015987-classic-marinara-sauce https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1015987-classic-marinara...

  Even bad canned tomatoes are probably better than whatever fresh plastic balls you can find in your market.

> I can't figure out why anybody would buy them premade People who don't have a kitchen big enough for cooking in bulk like that? People without freezers? People without that amount of free time? People don't really like food? People with motion disabilities? I've probably missed out some groups.

  >People who don't have a kitchen big enough for cooking in bulk like that? By "bulk" I mean an oven tray or two. I'm not rocking an commercial kitchen here. >People without freezers? Where do they put their frozen meatballs from the store? The time is amortized, if you don't like food then you shouldn't care anyway, and I really doubt most people buying frozen meatballs from the store have disabilities.

Perhaps they're buying frozen ones to cook immediately (much like frozen meals)? > I really doubt most people buying frozen meatballs from the store have disabilities It might not be "most" for that one group, sure, but the groups I suggested probably do cover "most" in total.
