Success Story

It is estimated that 20 percent of adults in the United States have tried at least one meal kit delivery service. With the demand for convenience in our society, meal kits seem to be the answer for grocery shopping, meal planning, and meal preparation. Anyone who has not tried meal kits might be interested in learning how meal kits work and whether they are worth the investment for preparing and consuming more meals at home. 

In response to this, the Hart County Extension Family and Consumer Sciences Agent went on WBKO’s Farm and Home Show and WPBM’s Family Lifestyles to speak about Meal Kits: Are They Worth It? for the South Central Kentucky viewing audience. Emphasis was placed on understanding the benefits and drawbacks of incorporating meal kits into lifestyle and financial goals. The two shows equipped 60,000 Kentucky residents with researched based information that empowered them to make informed decisions in regards to home delivery kits.
