Soylent

**Faiaoga** · 04-28-2014, 11:13 PM

Do people here have experience with or knowledge of a product called Soylent, supposedly a complete nutritional substitute for other foods? There is an article in The Atlantic Monthly (April 28, 2014) by Roc Morin "The Man Who Would Make Food Obsolete". The article is about Soylent and its inventor, Rob Rinehart.

If it is as claimed, Soylent might be a good emergency storage food or something useful for famine relief.

Not sure why anyone would want to skip food and drink it unless they are dieting. I have read at least 10 indepth articles on this and it surely seems like an obsessed 25 yr old who can't cook trying to just eat as quickly as possible so he can work. (see his interview). Not a fan of this but here is info

I prefer the soylent yellow, but somehow it's not as full-bodied.

Another view point is on a site called TheWeek.com I just saw it today.

Soylent Brown!!!!

I'm pretty sure that's what you get AFTER you eat it.

**RandyRhoads** · 05-15-2014, 03:47 PM

Hmm. Soiled myself brown. Sounds like an average day for me.

I would love to eat a nutritional paste as opposed to have to make meals. I got stuff to do. And fast food is horrible.

wouldn't making a full meal, meat, potatoes, vegetables, and seasonings and sauces you may like. putting it all in a blender and making a puree and canning it, essentially be the same thing ? That way you have a dinner in a jar just heat and eat mmmmmm good!!!!

Doubl post. Apparently idk how to make words red

Yes. But that's the thing. I would have to make it first. That's the part I dislike. The amount of time.

Hook me up with a g tube. Ill just shoot up on the run haha

We only tell a few folks how to make words red. Others we tell how to make them blue. We're saving chartreuse for you.

Sorry, Randy, I thought I put the instructions in here. Looks like I just poked fun at you and left. Hmmm.

When you type out a reply in the Quick Reply box you should see a capital A in the tool box just above it. It's a drop down box with colors. Highlight what you want to make red, selected the red color from the drop down box and Viola! Red text (or any color you want).
