Some of that yummie “Bonita” powder found in hundreds of oriental foods. Dried cuttlefish, dried shrimp. Soup stock of bonita dried and powdered standard fare in Japan.

"...he found himself spending too much time and money searching for nutritious meals..." You have got to be kidding me. Chop up some kale and spinach, crumble some goat cheese on it and toss with some dressing. How long did that take?
To: Cool Guy
FReepmail me @ how it goes, ok?
I’m going to run this by a nutritional expert I know in the meantime and get back with you on her thoughts @ this.

"Soylent, the most joyless new technology to hit the world since we first laid eyes on MS-DOS."I stopped reading at that point. The author clearly doesn't know what he's talking about. MS-DOS was a clear improvement over anything before it. It used common English words in its instructions, it was insensitive to upper and lower case, it was cheap ($35, as I recall), and every new version was an improvement over the previous release. It was anything but 'joyless'. It certainly was crude in comparison to todays graphical operating systems, but it was a vast improvement over its predecessors.

That name has got to be the second worst image decision since AT&T adopted the Death Star as its corporate logo.

And that was the last I ever heard of it. When the plan became known they designated plankton an endangered species, and that was that.

Actually, as Ruy Dias de Bivar pointed out, it was
Fish Flour.
The FDA nixed it.

give us a full report. The idea of giving up food entirely is stupid, but if it can help me lose some weight, who knows.

Thanks - but if it had been plankton the EPA would’ve nixed it most likely...
