Meal kits beat groceries in emissions head-to-head

People shop in a supermarket inside a department store in Bangkok October 29, 2013. The Thai economy has struggled free of recession, but latest data is hardly encouraging for a government that is banking on a recovery in slumping exports to offset the heavy cost of populist policies aimed at preserving its power. Exports, which account for more than 60 percent of the economy, fell 6.3 percent in September from a year earlier and private consumption dropped 1.3 percent from August. Private investment remained flat, according to Bank of Thailand (BOT) data released on October 31, 2013. Picture taken Oct 29, 2013.
