The food box revolution may turn us into better cooks, but the contents can be surprisingly high in fat and sodium.
Question:
Are meal-kit subscription services generally healthy? We use HelloFresh for a few nights

Answer:
Meal-kit subscription services have changed the way consumers source their food and are growing exponentially. Global revenue passed the US$1 billion mark in 2015, according to research by Technomic, and analysts predict it could reach US$20 billion by 2027.
