Damn I got served on this one.

I actually find hello fresh to be really wasteful

I think for a lot of people they learn “recipes” rather than “techniques”. You can make one dish, by following the recipe exactly but what if you don’t have one item? Genuine skills like proper seasoning, cook time, knife skills and flavor pairing are all thrown out the window bc HF can just ship you your meal of the week on a diesel truck. I get that not everyone wants to be a pro home cook, but you’re telling me buying chicken thighs from the store, seasoning them and serving them w roasted broccoli is too hard?
