This is nonsense. The yoghurts with granola are a main in a breakfast meal deal. The normal yoghurts are still a snack.

I think this is probably written for consumption in London and the South East. 🤣
I can hear a Frenchman somewhere hon-hon-honing about the fact that our food culture is so pitiful, we have convinced ourselves we actually like eating an overrefridgerated supermarket sandwich out of a cardboard box and calling it lunch.
Have you ever had a french supermarket sandwich, hen? They're fucking awful. He's not right
Consider two people: one getting ready salted crisps, a BLT and a San Pellegrino, the other a spicy chicken pasta pot, the hard-boiled egg two-pack and a banana Yazoo. Which one would you rather have as your babysitter?
Dunno, I'm not a judgemental wank like you, I'd take it on merit
This is fucking GASH journalism and the advert for her "book" at the end says it all
They had another article a couple of weeks ago about abolishing landlords instead of building more houses. It was total rubbish, completely misunderstood housing supply, but had a good title. That was also a vaguely concealed advert for a book.
The Guardian used to be a good paper.
Who could forget this classic from the guardian about a mother who did not appreciate her son's tattoo.
I think my eyes just rolled out of my head.

With you on this, what the hell am I even supposed to be inferring from these meal deal choices
Also confused, I thought maybe a San Pellegrino was high brow so they got it, but then crisps and a BLT isn't as healthy as a pasta pot so maybe that's it, but is a Yazoo healthy?
I get that it's not the main point of the article, but is she seriously considering that someone's meal choices are good indicators of whether they'd make a good babysitter?
This is the best summary I could come up with:
It’s something we take for granted , the ability to go to any major supermarket and pick up enough food to tide you over until dinner, edible on the move, for a knockdown price.

Earlier this week, shoppers noticed that Sainsbury’s had, quietly but unmistakably, shaken the very foundations of the meal deal.
I bought their own-brand Greek yoghurt with a scattering of granola on top, sort of panicked in the face of having to choose a substantial savoury snack and went for the “trio of olives”, and finished off with a thick smoothie for added sustenance.
I mean, plainly, it is not one of life’s great injustices, to be deprived of the option to eat a sandwich as well as a yoghurt and wash it down with a fizzy drink, or a juice, for only £3.50.
