Pros and cons of meal subscription plans

Body

From time to time, I feel it is a clever idea to subscribe to one of the several meal subscriptions plans available because I just want something different to eat. Another, and perhaps the biggest reason is because I can have the ingredients sent to my house, and I dont have to grocery shop. This is good and bad, the positive aspect being that I can select a plan that is healthy and with proper portioning without buying extra ingredients. For example, you cant just buy one carrot.
