The 2 advantages of using convenience foods are that you can bring it on the go with you to work/school, and you also have less time to make them so it's very convenient for going outside with some of these, but the 2 disadvantages are that you have to cook it accurately or the salt and sugar levels won't work out, or the servings could be too high :3
If you mean they should actually be a part of it with them in it, no. but if you mean interacting with them like questions, then yes! hope i could help =)
