A lunch meal at a restaurant with friends/coworkers is just so much more civilized - and satisfying - than eating some melee out of a plastic container.

And the Mediterranean countries are just masters in this area (thank you Spain/France/Italy!)

I don't think anyone suggested that it's an either-or proposition.

When you need something fast, or you need something fast AND you want a good amount of protein, these shakes are great.

I'd certainly rather have a nice several course meal with friends; but if I have little time, these shakes are a great solution.
