Including Auschwitz and blowjobs.

[Hubris Incalculable]

This beige slurry sounds like the food bags that the very disabled (as in, they basically can't do anything for themselves) have running directly into their stomachs.

Including Auschwitz and blowjobs.

Anything even remotely related to the prostate seems to cause cancer, yeah. From what I vaguely remember that thing's like a little fleshsponge of cancerambulations, at least once it's been marinating long enough. And if Auschwitz didn't it probably would have started to after a while. Random arbitrary carcinogenic radiation seems right up that sort of thing's alley.

Generally, missing obscure microvitamins/minerals won't kill you. It might have a negative effect of some kind, but you probably aren't at much higher risk of not getting it drinking Soylent than eating food, as it would be obscure.

True that. Also, it's way easier to monitor your food intake if your sole nutrient source is lab-manufactured slurry, leading to a better chance of actually discovering some of those obscure microvitamins/minerals.

I think this is very interesting. Not sure if it'll actually be that much cheaper than actual food, since farming remains the best method of producing bulk nutrients, but I find the convenience appealing. Just quaffing a can of slurry instead of eating? SO COOL.

Literally everything on earth both causes and cure cancer, depending on who you ask.

So you think. All of us deviant connoisseurs shall be in the classy corner furiously masticating to food channels. Enjoy your slop; I've got poultry to baste, tea to brew and rice to steam... Slowly.

Well, I'm all signed up. Hope to hear back soonish!

Tell us how it works!  I am very, very interested in this.  I honestly hate eating.  The only kinds of food I really enjoy eating are the kinds you eat at a restaurant once every couple weeks.  I also have serious issues with eating I've brought up before that definitely fuck up my nutrition.  Being able to get everything I need in a cake-flavored slurry would be the best thing I've ever done.

It works because it's everything your body uses to build, maintain, and clean itself, delivered as efficiently as possible to the best of our knowledge (both in delivery and in what is actually in it)

[frostshotgg]

Pretty much what Descan said. Your body can't tell the difference between nutrients in their pure form and nutrients stashed away with a dozen others in regular food, so this guy went out and bought nutrients in as pure of a form as he could find them and tossed them all into a glass of water and chugged it down. Of course, his body's like "Oh sweet. Nutrients! Fuck yeah!" so it doesn't complain.

Personally I find this horrific and, if it catches on, frightening on a societal level - microwave dinners to the nth degree. The solution to the food crisis lies in increased personal responsibility over food production and reduced the reliance on industrial agriculture and processing. Something almost entirely processed is not going to be cost-effective compared to sustaining yourself on calories and nutrients converted directly from solar energy. I'm sure the owners of the factories converting commodity corn into maltodextrin are going to be excited about this though.

Are you saying Soylent is bad because we should all be robots and/or farmers? I don't quite follow your argument.

[sneakey pete]

Frumple: You can eat for much less per month that this would cost, but can you eat as healthily?

The thing that really attracts me to this idea is that you have a much better control over the proportions of everything that you eat. As it is, any steak you buy is as big as it is, any fruit you eat is as big as it is, etc. With this method, you can weigh stuff to try and get a balanced diet.
