Food has always been something that's very social and growing/hunting/preparing it a crucial part of culture. We're wired for it. It binds us. Even if you had made no effort as part of the process, the kinship of knowing someone went all that effort for you is difficult to replace.

Anyway, when you just heat frozen food and eat it alone, all that pretty much goes down the drain.

I do agree, but its also kind of an amazing thing. I know this meal was made by a corporation for profit, but there was still a farmer that made the contents and a chef somewhere along the line cooked it before it was packaged. You might be missing the personal interaction with them, but there were still a lot of humans involved in bringing that meal to your table.
