      Is there a food service called Soylent these days? All I could think of is Soylent Green but that is an “unknown” substance from a movie.

      I wouldn’t mind eating that though.

        Yeah there’s a company that makes a nutritionally sufficient soybean-related sustenance slurry called Soylent. My understanding is it’s perfectly survivable.

          Unironically, I tried it back in the day and all their flavors sucked, the owner is kind of a weirdo and had to be bullied into having flavors at all, supposedly.

          That said, someone finally made him make a mint chocolate and it is

          Okay.

          Still, it is actually a decent meal replacement drink. I don’t care for them but for people who need to lose weight or need a specific calorie regimen in general it’s okay and not counterproductively overly sweetened like a lot of the others.

        Works great, it’s about as cheap as you can get for food, and takes like 10 minutes every two days to prepare.

            I do, but breakfast and lunch five days a week is more planning and effort than I’m willing to do, so Soylent just gives me back time and energy. Now if I had private chef money, id be rocking French toast every morning before work
