Meal kits seem to have run their course here. People talking about them being too rigid, portions being probably a bit too reasonable (no leftovers) and mostly, a LOT of packaging waste.
We're still using SunBasket after having tried 3-4 others. I cringe when I see that it's stuff that isn't very expensive to buy individually. But, to have three meals pre-arranged and have them be something I never would've cooked on my own, and have a completely clean kitchen when I serve the meal (all waste goes in the recycler) - the two of us are still very happy with it. Options are "chef's choice", clean & lean, paleo, vegetarian, Mediterranean, vegan, pescatarian, diabetic-friendly.
If you want to give it a try, here's an invite link that saves you $40. Example choices:
This is a rather nice system. Ingredients with recipe delivered to your home. You do the cooking.

What JUST presently sells is plant-based meat substitutes, not laboratory-grown meat products (yet). It seems to me that the USCA is more concerned with clear labeling of food products than they are with "protecting their turf". I'm curious to give that JUST product (as it now exists) a try, and would likely try the "engineered" one when it became available.
did you see near the end of the video?
they're eating chicken nuggets outside and the sample specimen chicken was walking around the yard beside them
however there are political forces trying to interfere
Lab-Grown Meat Is Coming to Your Supermarket. Ranchers Are Fighting Back.
The U.S. Cattlemen's Association petitioned the USDA to declare that "meat" and "beef" exclude products not "slaughtered in the traditional manner."
JUST is one of a handful of tech companies working to disrupt the meat production industry.
While many of its competitors are pursuing better plant-based meat substitutes, JUST is pushing ahead with so-called "clean meat," or lab-grown animal tissue that requires no farming, no feeding of livestock, and no slaughterhouses. Only a single sample from a single animal that's duplicated endlessly.
JUST and companies like it are poised to disrupt the livestock industry. So established players are turning to the government to help protect their turf.
As far as I can tell, what JUST presently sells is plant-based meat substitutes, not laboratory-grown meat products (yet).

Would you eat a hamburger or a chicken nugget made of meat grown in a laboratory?
Joshua Tetrick, co-founder and CEO of JUST, is betting that you will. The San Francisco-based company has been producing and selling non-animal versions of food, like mayonnaise, since 2013, and it's raised more than $310 million in venture capital.
Tetrick and his team have created products like Just Mayo by identifying plant-based alternatives to common animal products, like eggs, using a combination of lab experiments and machine-learning.

Yeah, I would too. After watching the video on that page it makes me think about buying a waffle iron. I saw something on the Food Network about a waffle shop that makes all sort of stuff in their irons. There was a turkey sandwich waffle with the waffle made from stuffing.
