Description
Kylie Fraser and co-authors ask whether meal kit services could help parents learn food skills, in a study published in 2023. The team bought a one-week plan from each of the nine meal kit services then running in Australia. They combed the sign-up flow, planning tools, delivery boxes, and websites for features that tend to change behavior.
Across the services, they found thirty-five such features, with each service holding between nineteen and twenty-nine. Sixteen features appeared in every service, spanning goal setting, knowledge building, social support, and cues. Mapping the features to a theory frame pointed to motivation as the most common route of action. The study judges the kits' promise for building parent food skills, not their proven effect.
