>>Soylent Green is people!!!!!!!!!!!!!

According to the story, if you make it without people, it tastes bad and isn’t quite a total food substitute.

At $5, a Little Caesar’s pepperoni pizza may provide a lot of caloric bang for the buck, but I almost always feel dirty after eating one.

Finally! Someone has developed a solution, so human beings no longer have to be punished with eating food!

-——Soylent resembles watered-down oatmeal. Unflavored, it tastes sour and wheaty, with a wan viscosity that gives off the impression of having already passed through someone else’s body.——

Wow....that is quite the endorsement....not....

I wonder what makes this different from meal replacement drinks....besides the fact the MR drinks can actually taste ok and not like something already eaten and passed thought any person bowels...

I don’t know if this is true, but my friend claimed he worked there, and they make a profit by using the topping of one pizza for two of theirs.

Soylent is aggressively nourishing: It coated my tongue, charged down my throat, and engaged in pitched battle with the lasagna already occupying my stomach. Rhinehart’s ideological war on real food raged literally, nauseatingly in my gut, and Soylent lost this particular skirmish. I only managed a few gulps from a pint glass before dumping the rest down the drain.

Sounds like the ultimate 30 day nightmare diet

if he adds bulk fiber powder it’d be normal.

If he wants to eat this stuff, I guess more for the rest of us. He probably also wants to knock down national parks for more server farms.
