Description

Welcome to the I Love Cambridge Podcast! Today’s guest is Rob Puschelberg.

The food is made locally and is a great alternative for busy people on the go, and it’s a healthy alternative to fast food.

Standout Quotes:

“There are so many people that aren’t eating well because they can’t, or they don’t have time. And this way, you open the jar, you put it on a plate, you put it in the microwave, and it’s a balanced, fresh meal.”
“Meal In A Jar is a little cheaper than going out to have a burger and a coke and an order of fries.”
“Meal In A Jar is very useful for people who have some challenges with cooking but are looking for a fresh and balanced meal.”

Key Takeaways:

Many people need to eat healthily. And it isn’t always easy to do, whether it’s time constraints or even just the ability to do the food prep and all of that.
The products are pre-portioned meals. You just have to make sure that you eat your jars before they expire.
The whole idea behind the glass jar is the food tastes better when it’s stored in glass, as opposed to plastic. And the jars are definitely reusable.
