Soylent - Who is this for?

you know what this stuff reminds me of?
that sludge you see served in dystopian sci-fi movies, the stuff that has all of the nutrients you need but has no real form other than slime. (e.g.)
soylent isn't at the point that you'd just be able to replace everything you eat with it and live a healthy life, but i've seen people trying to make it like such or even dedicating themselves to this crazy diet

I love how this implies that Soylent doesn't make him happy. :cunningpepe:

I wonder if in Snowpiercer the original idea was to make the jelly grub being made of dead people as well, but they had to tune it down to cockroaches for some reason.

I'm almost certain that's actually an in-joke based on Soylent Green famously being made of people.
 
I just hope stuff like Soylent doesn't get traction in work places. I can see companies and corporations like Amazon liking an idea of a quick to consume, baseless product for the lowest common denominator to feed to their employees to be more productive while removing lunch breaks and making the Wage slave soyboy an actual thing.

I tried soylent, and I could not get over how gritty and chalky-tasting it was. I know it's for people that are either too lazy to get up from their desks or literally are overworked to the point where trying to eat a proper meal means more time "wasted" when the bosses want to you slave away for as long as possible. However, eating proper meals is good; I know there was a study in which people got depressed because they couldn't chew their food. Apparently, even the action of chewing food releases happy hormones in the brain, and drinking the same amount of calories didnt.

They seem to like it.

Me personally, I’d rather just drink water or juice.

That lesion on the dorsal, medial surface of that guys nose in the bottom picture looks like a chancre. Syphilis would have to be quite bad for it to manifest like that. I'd expect neuropsychiatric symptoms to already be manifesting. Maybe slurping down that wallpaper paste and being so excited about it would be considered a pathological neuropsychiatric sign.

Was debating to label this Informative or DRINK! and right now I wish there was a way that it could be both
 
It's cheaper and pretty much far healthier to just replace breakfast with a 16oz mason jar consisting of two scoops of whey muscle powder (with an extra tablespoon of cocoa powder and decaf coffee) and a multivitamin than it is to drink this soy laden matte exterior coat in a bottle. No sympathy for the mentally ill that throw their money away on these things.

I saw Soylent was on discount/clearance at the shop I used to work at. I hoped that they finally shuttered, but nope. If you need protein, just drink a Premier.
 
Yeah cooking is a risk and isn't always guaranteed to come out right, but it gives you much more than Soylent ever could. When you cook something - even if it's just fucking spaghetti and meatballs - you're accomplishing much more than opening a damn bottle of liquid chocolate estrogen. If you don't feel good after eating a meal you just cooked, you're basically retarded.

That autist who made a fucking flowchart explaining why he guzzles Soylent should realize that nothing good can come from consooming large amounts of soy unless he wants to become the next Narcissa Wright. Dude could at least try frozen food, maybe from Trader Joe's.

Soylent is basically a fancy meal replacement shake or powder. It was originally created by a person who wanted to have a nutritious diet without having to cook or spend time cooking. It can also be used similarly to Ensure or Boost to help gain or lose weight. It can be helpful for people who work a lot or have conditions that don't allow them the energy or time to cook however, it's a bit expensive. Personally, I have tried Soylent and thought it was a bit rough on the stomach and I believe the ingredients aren't that great so I suggest Ensure or Boost instead. There's also usually coupons for Ensure and Boost so you can get them for cheaper.

Due to the high prices of Soylent and other meal replacement shakes, many people have tried to make their own. So if you are still interested but dislike the ingredients or prices, you can make your own instead.

Wouldn't it be better to just use ground up cricket then drink this garbage?

Big Pharma is the problem since Nestle owns Boost and Ensure is owned by Abbot. People want their Big Pharma free nutrient substitute since we all know what Big Pharma does in cutting cost and fucking quality over. For the Soylent guzzling cucks, it is something they cannot stand to see happen
