Eating healthy.
I came across Graze, a few weeks back and thought that even though I try to eat healthy, it might be simpler for me if I just had the food delivered.
It can be a hassle buying for one and then finding out that you don't like the food — or that you have to buy it in bulk just to have a portain of it each day. Plus food is nicer when it is fresh.
The boxes are, apparently, custom designed to have three different foods in them. My first box contains, pineapple, apple strudel and cashews. It looked like this:
And about 2 minutes later it looked like
Pretty good but the pineapple was almost fermented — it had not kept very well. I dropped the guys at Graze an email saying that. I was not expecting much, as I am on a trial offer and the first box was free, after all. But I was pleasantly surprised when I received a response from Natalia apologising for the pineapple and indicating that my next box would also be free.
Sweet!
My second box, below, also disappeared pretty quickly. Although I was not a fan of the dried raspberries as compared to the grapes and nut mix.
Their website is pretty slick, and the sign-up process is lovely. My one complaint is that when you rate foods, you have to 'bin' them, or 'love' them. I don't mind cashews and dried raspberries — I'd still like them to be sent up, just not as as frequently as, say, apple strudel. I'd rather give it a thumbs up, thumbs down are wavy hand.
I think that at £2.99 / box, the service is a bit too expensive for an individual to have. But a company might be able to arrange a "bulk rate". However one thing I particularly like is that each box contains a different image inside the lide. If they included some kind of inspirational quote as well, it be even better.

I think what both the commenters here need to look at is: http://www.graze.com/packaging
Everything sent is recycleable; I am unsure what their carbon neutral status is.
@Thomas, I work from home - so my lunch room is a few steps away.
