It's really not any different than going to the deli and purchasing food and sides already made.  Or ordering take out from a restaurant.

 

We pay extra for the convenience factor.  The ad usually says free shipping, but, trust me, free shipping isn't free.

 

Or ... you can buy the ingredients yourself, and make it from scratch.

The restaurant my son works at sells chicken marsala with a side of mashed potatoes and a few green beans for $28.  If I was going to order it for delivery, with fees and tip, it would be $40.  

 

This doesn't seem like an unreasonable price.

The Nutrition facts are 🥺🥺🥺🥺. The sodium and 28 grams of carbohydrates per serving are so laden with MSG and sugar, might as well eat bacon grease.🤣

There's no MSG listed in the ingredients and bacon grease doesn't have carbs so there's that.

Yeast extract I was told to avoid because it has MSG. The ingredients in that chicken I would not feed my dog 🐶. Artery clogging sludge.

Thankfully, we are not forced to buy it.

 

Chicken is so easy to cook and I am happy that I can make it just the way Iike it.

 

I am not even tempted to buy precooked or prepared food from anywhere at anytime.

I mean, they both contain glutamates.  You might be sensitive to it, but it's a perfectly safe food additive.  While a steady diet of Corky's won't do you any favors, one meal doesn't cause sludge to clog your arteries.
