I think it is just pure laziness honestly. If she didn't have that bag of frozen kale and quinoa, she would have to boil the quinoa and wash and cut the kale. Instead it just gets microwaved in the bag.  The bell pepper bag was ridiculous and incredibly wasteful. I really try to live a very low-waste lifestyle and it hurts my heart quite a bit when I see how easily some trash is created. In just this one meal, there was the non-compostable meat container, a plastic bag for the kale and quinoa mix, and a plastic bag for the bell peppers. IT is sad. I wish more stores/companies and people would be conscientious about what they buy and the packaging that is often not necessary.
