This is one of those times that I am so glad that I don't have kids asking for that type of thing. I avoid the frozen aisle that has the meal and breakfast items. I'm often amazed at what is there. I don't completely avoid it though because I do purchase Amy's Organics frozen meals - but mostly because they are organic, vegetarian and many of them are gluten-free. I remember being shocked when those lunchable things came out. Really, how long does it take to throw together some crackers and cheese and whatever else is in there?
However as to being lazy; I've notice a lot of new products that address this issue. There is some new laundry product that you use in the washer and then you put it in the dryer afterwards. It is some kind of detergent and fabric softener combo. I haven't paid too much attention to the commercial but it sounds like it is supposed to revolutionize your laundry routine and make things so much easier. What? Like it is such a hassle to pour or scoop the detergent into the washing machine and then (gasp!) have to use a second product in the dryer. What a long way we've come from having to wash clothes at the river against a rock or use one of the old ringer washers. Some of these new convenience products are such a joke and they are so much more expensive than the alternative.
