Although I’m only a second year
law student, I’ve heard enough
lawyer jokes to fill at least ten
casebooks. For the most part, the
punchlines have to do with our
lack of time. No time for friends,
no time for fun, and no time for
food!
Somehow we manage to keep
our friends, have a little bit of fun
here and there, but for some of
us, maintaining a healthy diet and
consistent meal schedule is a little
more complicated.

Instead of waiting in checkout
lines, ordering takeout, or hitting
the drive thru, many working pro-
fessionals in Atlanta are choosing
meal kit delivery services to feed
themselves and their families.
Meal kit services typically pro-
vide single, two, or four person
meals for three to five days a week.
Different companies promote dif-
ferent types of dining experiences
in their deliveries.
You’ve probably heard of na-
tional meal kit companies like
Blue Apron, Sun Basket, or Hello
Fresh. Blue Apron seeks to pro-
vide customers with higher quality
ingredients by partnering with
farmers implementing sustain-
able and ecologically friendly
farming methods, whereas Sun
Basket offers organic produce, as
well as Paleo, Gluten Free, and
Vegan options.
Meal kit services like these offer a
variety of benefits, which include
saving money, eliminating food
waste, and expanding your own
culinary skills. You can pick your
own menu, or you can leave it up
to the company if you’re feeling
adventurous!
I’ve tried Sun Basket, Blue Apron,
and am now awaiting my first Hel-
lo Fresh delivery. As someone who
loves to cook, these services have
opened my eyes (and tastebuds!)
