I don't know about you guys but for me it is a tough choice. My wife only lets me pick one treat a month so I usually flip a coin between getting soylent or getting another month supply of the 'vark.

This is even more pathetic than the fact that he's a soyboy. It would be like going to a restaurant to get a bowl of cereal with milk.

It has its niche... it's not going to catch on as a total meal replacement system for 99.9% of people but if you're very busy, curious, and/or looking for a novel way to get nourished quickly then it could become a well established product. I would definitely try one, and maybe even occasionally have them in specific situations.

If you're going DIY, Huel is better than Soylent because their original formula is already cheap stuff you can get anywhere: oats, pea protein, rice protein, coconut oil, flaxseed, sunflower seed, plus a vitamin pill. Adjust to your specific needs.

I was highlighting that accepting such soulless food because it's fast is a grave sign of losing your humanity.

>> No.10175664

Crypto, La Croix, Eric Andre, and Soylent are all memes but are all good.

Most of my meals are replaced by coffee. I barely get any nutrition so soylent works for me. I don't need it to taste good. I need to to be convenient, shipped to my door, and cheap. Memes are good kids, just don't fall for raw water.

how poor and stupid do you need to be to drink baby formula?
