There's an energy cost to keep food frozen for weeks or months at a time. It's common for houses to have multiple fridges and freezes, you wouldn't need to do this if food was delivered when you wanted to eat.

- jjeaff 8y agoHaving more stuff in your freezer actually costs less. Due to the higher thermal mass that takes longer to warm up when the freezer is off. So if more food delivery means less stuff in the freezer, it's going to take more energy. And let's be honest, no one is going to ditch their freezer entirely for something like blue apron.
- jbob2000 8y agoMy brother just moved into an apartment and wants to get a chest freezer so he can store more frozen food. But there's really nowhere to put it, so he has to go out grocery shopping more often then not. People who already have freezers won't ditch them, why get rid of something that works. This will be a generational change - younger generations will never get secondary freezers because they'll be big consumers of meal kits.
