Default Interesting thing about those mail order diet food places

I am not dieting right now, but I noticed something interesting about those mail order diet food places. I am talking about those places that ship you a huge crate of frozen food every month.

They always have twice the amount of food for men, but they charge the same for men as for women.

So on principle two women can pretend to be a man and order one of their man dieting plans....It is interesting. Although I don't diet so I would never be able to try out this hypothesis.

My girlfriend tried the meals for a month, said they were bland and terrible. She lost money, not weight!

Arrow Re: Interesting thing about those mail order diet food places

Oh WOW. Thanks for the info.

I looked into them once because I was sick of driving out to acquire food with gas being so expensive and sales tax around 10%. I thought getting weekly food delivery would be really convenient.

Although if they are bland because they are low sodium they could actually be more healthy than the junk food I usually eat.

Most things are healthier than the junk food

I heard about an organic company and a farmers thing, both are supposed to deliver healthy food monthly or weekly..is hard to ruin vegetables...
