More About Those Silly Meal Prep Franchises

5503_funny_chicken_on_a_chopping_bl
In July of last year, I discussed the "Meal Prep" franchise model, and how I felt that it wasn't very well thought out. Here is part of what I said:

"Since I am part of the dual income we have no time to do anything crowd, I thought of these 2 problems with the concept, when I was introduced a couple of years ago:

1. If one has no time to cook on weeknights, how would one find the time to spend 2-3 hours cooking meals?  {Personally, there is no way I would spend a Saturday morning doing it!}

2. What if one has no large freezer? {We don't}"

I still stand by my assertion that this franchise model is not viable. It may become viable, if it is somehow reworked, but for now, it is just not there. My friend, Sean Kelly goes a tad farther than I in a story he recently published.
{Caution! Don't have cooked rice in your mouth while reading it. It will be sprayed about...}
