Soylent

[Lirange]

So there's this product called Soylent

It's essentially all your nutrients in a powdered form. You mix it with water, drink it, and that's your meal. I like the idea of it, it's a really easy way to get all your nutrients in. Unfortunately Soylent is back ordered for several months b/c of the large volumes of orders. So I ordered an alternative, 100% food.

I just tried the bottle today and it was...doable. Flavor is eh. I got the sample so it comes with one serving of the regular product and one of the chocolate. Going to try the chocolate tomorrow and hopefully it's better.

What do you guys think of it?? Would you ever try it?

[Blaaaaaaaah]

My first thought was - is this spam??

[Blaaaaaaaah]

Is it meant to replace meals or something?

I'm not sure... I prob wouldn't try it unless I can easily buy it in convenient stores. I kind of think it's too good to be true! To get all the nutrients you need in a few drinks.... if it was true I think it would be way more expensive.

Maybe for a niche market? Like how protein powder is used by muscle builders... wouldn't incorporate the drink as my daily intake though.

I'd rather have solid food, though I can sorta understand the appeal for some people

I've heard of it....


I eat for a lot of different reasons, taste being one of them lol.

Honestly, it sounds better as a way to fight hunger and malnourishment in poverty areas or 3rd world areas than something I would want for myself. Like maybe if I was really really busy???? And hadn't eaten properly in 3 days?

It's not a good option for 3rd world countries because iy requires water which isn't exactly the best quality in those parts. Instead the children usually get their nutrients in the form of a nut-based paste (I forgot the name of it)
