Taking sustainable to the extreme: Soylent meal replacement in a bottle

Imagine drinking a beige, liquid goo every time you get hungry. Instead of steak, sushi or your favorite lunchtime salad, it's a bottle of goo, three times a day. .
That's the idea behind Soylent 2.0, a bottled meal replacement made in Los Angeles,
...
Version 2.0 includes the vitamins and minerals, algal oil, isomaltulose (a slow-metabolizing ingredient naturally found in honey) and soy protein. It's pre-bottled, has a one-year shelf life and doesn't need to be refrigerated.
The Soylent website claims each bottle contains 20% of a person's daily recommended value for essential vitamins and minerals, and 400 calories. It also describes the drink as having "a smooth texture with a subtle, delicious flavor."

I thought it was supposed to be green?

Ha! I saw this movie. It’s quite a shocker at the end.

I tried this stuff. It’s not bad. It could be used for prepping. Just sayin’.

$29 per dozen.
$10 per day for 1600 calories.
Might work for a little while.

I would have to be a zombie to do that every day.

Yeh, Right, But if they do a prequel to Soylent Green, it would show how it stated as “renewable” from fruits and nuts. Then the drought came.....

Nope, it’s real and the story of its development is fascinating.

Very funny and brave to use the word soylent in there.
There’s puppy chow and horse chow and cat chow. Why can’t there be human chow?

At 10$ per day for starvation rations, I don’t see this being anything other than hippie chow.
