Not necessarily true. The prepackaged food industry has plenty of offerings for foods that are partially prepared cutting out tedious (time consuming) or expensive parts of the prep process while still requiring further processing by a cook for finish. Like most things this is not as black and white as many here are making it out to be.

Even for the foods that are nearly completely ready to server the ingredients, recipes, and flavor profiles may have been created by the actual chef from the restaurant. The packaging process offloads the labor in this case but not the creativity. In that case the argument against prepackaged food seems to be against time/place shifting labor more than anything else.
