Just Meals (Sheffield) is a unique company from England’s greenest city. Local food waste is delivered to this project, where people then cook up the ingredients to make super-affordable and tasty nutritious ready-meals, that are bought on subscription by local people.
There are vegan options, although no allergy options, as obviously the food is being used up, and has already been in use.
The meals are frozen, and packed in biodegradable packs. You just buy and heat them at home. Just imagine is every local community did this, we could reduce hunger and food prices, and ensure everyone ate affordable nutritious meals, from food that would otherwise be binned.
The meals are also sold in local shops in Sheffield. And to save on costs, online orders can be collected from various outlets. The meals start from £1 and are bought on a ‘pay what you can afford’ basis. To keep this fair, people pay more if they can pay more (based on honesty). There are also gluten-free options.
With a service like this, you don’t get to ‘order meals’ as such, although you can make requests for vegan, vegetarian or gluten-free meals. But you receive whatever needs to be used up, a bit likely how your parents or grandparents cooked, back in the day!
