/ck/ - Food & Cooking

All my doctors also ran tests this week and said everything was beyond perfect health wise.

Lost 15 pounds too (which was 4-6% bodyfat)

>>6481858

Fuck that beta cuck food.

Are they still trying to viral on here?

>>6481858
But why? That's like wearing special glasses so that you see only black and white.

>>6481858
>Literally everything in my life has improved substantially
>still posting on 4chan

>>6481870
>beta cuck
Explain?

Not only am in perfect health, I saved hundreds of dollars on electricity, gas, and water.

>>6481879
Wrong.

This steak I had tonight was the greatest meal I've ever had.

Because my taste buds have not been subject to anything, I was able to experience texture and flavor in immense detail. It was awe inspiring.

>>6481880
Came to share, oh well

>>6481888
Nice blog m8 :^)

>>6481889
I did ask a question in the op you subhuman parasite :^)

It's official ck

I haven't worn a single pair of well-fitting shoes in over year, just ones that are too small. Literally everything in my life has improved substantially and I was still able to walk up a flight of stairs barefoot tonight which was a million times more orgasmic after my feet being squashed all day long.

Are you eventually ever going to join the future of footwear ck?

>>6481883
how did you spend that much energy on cooking in the past? my total utility bill per annum is only about $80

>>6481893
>has no legitimate response
>hurrrr nice advertising, would shill for tenouttaten

>>6481858
>I was still able to digest a whole steak

>>6481898
You are on a food and cooking board.
No one wants to hear you shill protein shakes.
Obviously all that soy made your estrogen levels go through the roof, because you are one catty bitch.

>>6481897
Because California is a bitch
>>6481904
Everyone claims that you'll never be able to eat solid food again. Just saying It's bullshit.

>>6481888
Yes, I suppose that if you hold your breath for a year, the next one you take will taste of springtime flowers and fresh linen. Not going to try that though.

I imagine newly released felons have the same sort of appreciation for their newly refound freedom.

>>6481907
>No one wants to hear you shill protein shakes.

I want to hear him shill his protein shakes. I'm never, ever going to stop eating food that has flavor, but it's still an interesting subject.

>>6481912
Is Soylent the hipster version of Nutraloaf?

>>6481907
I'm gonna respond in the same manner you reply
nothing special

>>6481914
Yeah, I would say it's a pretty hipster product. Random startup in California. The only difference is its real, and easier to get than anything else.

>>6481914
Felon Frappe. Complete nutrition for the unduly confined.

Recipe: Take 1 nutraloaf and slice thinly. Allow slices to dry til crisp. (Takes 2 days) Place slices in old sock and bash sock against wall or cell mate until powder has been achieved. Empty sock into canteen cup. Add water to make paste. Allow to stand for 1 hour. Add more water til "shake" has been achieved. Consume with air of superiority.

When released from custody, you will once more delight in both freedom and the burger you will undoubtedly buy with your bus money.

>>6481926
So when food replacements become mainstream and as comm on as tap water

Will you join the future?

>All my doctors.

Nobody does that. Not unless you are Jared from Subway. Not unless you are a professional product pumper, a social media messenger.

All my doctors. ...

>>6481929
A bleak future indeed.

>>6481930
I told them about it because I didn't want to die lol

You don't think I was scared trusting my life to a powder?

>>6481934
I think you're an idiot. I can see this as a meal replacer if you are really pressed for time. There is absolutely zero reasons to eliminate cooking and enjoying food from your life.

>>6481869
>All my doctors

So your pediatrician and gynecologist both ran tests this week?

>>6481937
that's how I wanna treat it going forward

still, I'm happy I don't have to cook everyday or watch what I eat anymore

How can you compare that to a meal that has a variety of colours, flavours, textures and aromas? A balanced diet costs about the same or less, provides all your nutrients and is infinitely more enjoyable to eat.

I can see some obvious advantages, such as ease and speed of preparation, reduced grocery shopping time and reduced energy bills from cooking. But that assumes that people don't enjoy shopping and cooking and are happy to spend the time and effort (and gas/electricity bills) to indulge that creative outlet and gastronomic experience.

I'm sure there will be people out there who find this stuff helps them operate more efficiently but anyone who would rather get the "chore" of "fueling their body" out of the way ASAP like that doesn't belong on /ck/. You might get a more positive response from /sci/.

>>6481944
It's for people who think they are too important to take time do these things. It's the most pretentious shit I've seen in a long time. OP may be an alright faggot but he's probably a viral marketer.

>>6481941
All the ones that were running tests

my pcp sent my blood work out to my gastroenterologist- etc

Ignoring the fact this is complete bullshit, there is no way someone could have the same meal every day for a year

>>6481911

>California

of course!

>>6481944
your average American is too ignorant, broke, or conditioned to eat a proper balanced diet.

At least this way they save money, time, and oh hey

Maybe even their LIFE

>>6481952
West coast does seem to be where all the new businesses pop up. Flyovers just farm.

>>6481947
OP sounds more like some lardass who just thinks meal planning and cooking takes too much energy. He's the sort of person who pees in bottles so he doesn't need to walk to the bathroom because it's more "efficient".

>>6481950
believe what you want, but I'm boy the only one

>>6481955
Your average American is too undisciplined to eat a proper balanced diet. Why would they have the willpower to subsist on Soylent?

>>6481955
>Oh no, its okay I ate an entire box of donuts, I'm on a soylent diet!

>>6481947
Why would I market a food replacement on 4 chins- even going as far as ck??

You're pretty slow if you actually believe that

>>6481969
>Why would I market a food replacement on 4 chins

Because we're the people most likely to buy it: nerdy shut-ins who are scared of the grocery store and need something to feel better than other people about.

>this obvious viralling

Report, sage, and hide, /ck/

>>6481965
I'm noise gonna argue for this shit anymore

It's cheap and amazing period

I only came to ask if you're ready for what the future might hold in the food replacement industry

>>6481986
I love completely shit attempts at marketing on 4chan.
No one talks like this.

>>6481978
Check the archives faggot

this is my first time ever even paint about this

>>6481992
I'm on mobile

It's auto correct

>>6481994
Probably will be the last too.

>>6481969
Lots of people shill on 4chan. It's like setting up a little stall on a fairly busy market street. This thread has 12 unique posters already and probably the same number again lurking.

24 people taking active notice of your product in less than an hour aint too bad for a stall, especially considering the low cost and effort of making a thread and the fact that the logo is on the front page for dozens more people to see.

That kind of online advertising usually costs money but on 4chan and other forums it's free (and has more credibility) if done under the guise of an impartial consumer. I read a third of all online "reviews" are done by shills. Dunno if that's true but it wouldn't blow my mind.

>>6482002
Yep

you're still more pathetic then I'll ever be so it's cool

>>6481858
Being an ascetic has been, and will always be, shit

>>6482006
Don't take yourself so seriously Ms viral marketer. We sure don't. Go peddle tour 4 hour workweek protein powder someplace where bits appreciated.

>>6482003
didn't read

You're one delusional man

>>6482010
>not being ascetic as fuck

>>6482021
Im a water treatment plant operator

And you're just a grade A idiot

Still didn't read

I and 6 of my friends all went on a soylent only diet and developed HORRIBLE health problems. We've all been to see doctors and our blood work is terrible. It's really ruined our lives, don't take the chance EVEN ONCE if you enjoy a comfortable life!

http://mobile.nytimes.com/2014/05/29/technology/personaltech/the-soylent-revolution-will-not-be-pleasurable.html?referrer=&_r=0

how cheap is it? i'm a cheap jew and don't like to spend money but i don't like to go hungry either.

OP here

I guess I just won't mention what I'm using if that's what the problem was. Oh well

>>6482051
It's not cheap at all. It's like $300 a month for one person. You'd be better off buying Nutrisystem meals.

>>6482027
>delusional
Shilling is pretty much common knowledge on some of the other boards. Posters have openly admitted to doing it on 4chan, Reddit and other places. On /v/ it's just an accepted part of the board, like baneposting on /tv/ or racism on /pol/.

I'm not saying OP definitely is but he seems pretty biased. Maybe it's just the money and time he invested in the product, idk.

>>6482051
$85/ $3 a meal for a one week supply

$300/ $2.67 a meal for 4 weeks.

I can get far better deals than that at the store.

>>6482078

What? Wasn't this supposed to be a cheap meal replacement? Fucking hipsters.

You can get a cheaper, better in all senses meal by just buying and mixing whey protein powder, oats, butter and fish oil along with supplements and vitamins.

>>6482034
>>6482041
>>6482051
>>6482021
>>6482003

Thread was worth it for this shit though Kek>>6482088

All I had to do was not say what I was using and none of that would have mattered

I'll just remember that when I wasn't to discuss food replacement next time you turbo autist

>>6482099
>All I had to do was not say what I was using and none of that would have mattered
Except you DID say what you were using and even posted what looks like a marketing pic from Soylent's website in your OP, so how is that a convincing argument at all?

>turbo autist
You're the one posting kawaii anime on /ck/, faggot.

>people thinking soylent is hipster

Soylent is reddit MRA libertarian bitcoin user tier.

>>6482089
Yeah, $10/day is ludicrous, if it's supposed to save money. I mean you can argue other attributes like saving time, better nutrition (extremely dubious), but normal poorfags who know what they're doing eat normal healthy food on $3/day.

>>6482074
Good god go the fuck away you sibbering little prat of a child. Go hold your breath.

>$85 for a week's "groceries" and it's just powdered shit.

>>6481911
>California
Fucking commie cucks, explains everything. How does it feel to be a fatass who had to resort to eating liquid meme meals because he can't exercise? Or are you just a shit cook?

>>6482330
hey fuck you we have plenty of great food

>>6482333
>california
>food
If you enjoy California "pizza" kitchen and dogshit then yeah (psst, don't tell anyone I lived there for 3 years for work, hated the people and the no weather but it was fun)

I have found that if I do a Solent enama I don't even have to use my mouth for anything but sucking dicks

>>6482508
Thank you for that, I had a good laugh.

>>6482029
>That hand

Fuck is that the guy who raised his hand for years as a sign of his devotion and his fingers grew into his palms and his knuckles started to rot?

>>6482337
stop talking about shit you don't know about, anon

>>6481858

Maybe if those faggots can fix their ratios for someone who isn't sedentary.

>>6482508
Chuckled heartily

>>6482158
Nah, it's for silicon valley techno-utopian faggots that are too busy with their hardcore javascript coding sessions to make packaged ramen (the extent of their repertoire, as they have no life skills or capacity for appreciating anything beautiful, good or human)

>>6481869
If it's beyond perfect doesn't that mean it's not perfect.

hey guys i see all the food captchas and the food is shit
do you guys agree? y/no

soylent has to be the dumbest shit ever invented

>>6482793
why

>>6482798
it takes away one of the greatest pleasure in life

>>6482807
only by your own choice

>>6481883
I havent considered the electricity cost of regular cooking, but I'd estimate it to be <10€/month.
The one month supply of soylent costs 300$

Last time i checked my monthly food expenses are around 60€/month (not buying 5$ hipster coffee every day or being a fat fuck saves a lot of money)

It is supposed to be 4 meals per day, I only eat about 2 full meals per day, maybe with small snacks inbetween, so even if this is planned to satisfy an average amerifat and i could stretch it for two months, thats still 2.5 times more then i currently spend.

Of course i save at least an hour per day by not cooking or shopping, but right now my time isnt worth that much, so unless i could go buy with 100€/month i will not even consider it.

And seeing that it is bulk produced and has a long shelf life i dont see why it is not cheaper than regular food

Generally im totally for a future where we dont have an entire room dedicated for preparing and storing food, everyone lives off soylent and for fancy meals we go to restaurants

>>6482807
you are a pitiful person if, after millenia of evolution you still can only derive pleasure from your basic instincts
do the humanity a favor and dont reproduce

>>6482815
>after millenia of evolution you still can only derive pleasure from your basic instincts

deriving pleasure is a basic instinct

>>6482812
Well, I would say you should probably have at least one or two month's worth in storage, in case of emergencies. You know, natural disaster that shuts down the stores.

Can soylent be made from zombies?

>>6481895
top, fucking, kek. nice one anon

>not suited to feed mice, creatures that literally live off trash

You're better off eating from the nearest garbage bin

>>6481858
>was
Is it cocaine? Because I'm not interested if its not.

>goylent

enjoy your mantits, klinefelters and ED.

ah who am i kidding you've always had that.

>>6481929
Fucking confirmed for being the autist douche that invented this shit. Get your garbage out of here

>>6482807
Just eat real food, vomit and take your Soylent.

>>6484074
>Things specifically tailored to cater to a specific species diet causes health issues when fed to another animal

Wow good job anon and random Japanese university. Its almost as if feeding only beef to horse is bad too or something.

>>6484652
Mice anatomy is virtually identical to human anatomy.

>>6484652
There's a reason we do a lot of testing on mice for shit we might want to eventually use on humans.

>>6484682
Because they breed fast as fuck and don't live too long?

>>6485846
Mouse genome is like 95% similar to human genome

>>6481888
>Because my taste buds have not been subject to anything
Because you where on a diet where you didn't have stomach waste layer your tongue, it would not surprise me the least that your taste buds was good.
A lot of people experience the same when they go on a no sugar diet.

>>6481914
Maybe. Going from the wiki article, its possible that Soylent has more nutrition.
That said, Nutriloaf is suppose to have a awful texture and taste.
Soylent is just suppose to be bland, right?

>>6486457
Lemurs are closer. But they breed a lot slower.

>>6481858

It's official ck

I haven't eaten a single piece of solid food in over year, just sea momkies and water. Literally everything in my life has improved substantially and I was still able to digest a whole Subway sandwich tonight which was million times more orgasmic after being separated so long.

Are you eventually ever going to join the future of food ck?

>>6486806

sea-momkies are the future /ck/

I am not a shill for some shitty start up company
honest

>>6481858
Did you only drink water during?

>>6484652
You should probably read the paper and scrutinize the experimental design before you make any statements.

>>6481912
> This is exactly what it was like
Fuck

You're better off making your own soylent.

>>6481969
Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?

>>6486806
Lawl. I thought however that it was vegemitavegimen. Or whatever she said.

>>6487089

Wow, 2007 called, they want their meme back.

>>6481858
considering all the late research into the adverse long terms effects of processed soy bean consumption (google it). i'm not sure you are making a very good case here...

>>6484074
>"soylent-style"
>"powdered food substitutes instead of pellets"
Something tells me that the experiment had nothing to do with soylent and that the person that wrote the article is a complete shitlord.

>>6487115
me again, looking up it up online i now realize it is not mostly soy as i assumed from the name...

anyone here tried this shit as "i got no time so this should keep me alive for today at least" kind of meal?

genuinely interested in something i can just down with no thought or attention as a meal replacement occasional. my job is unpredictable and quite offten i find myself having to wait 10 hours between meals. if there is really such a thing as "just add water and drink" meal it will be a life saver for me. don't give a shit if it tastes bad

>>6481907
Not OP but just wanted to clarify that the estrogen in soy products is not the right kind to have any effect on your estrogen hormone levels. Just wanted to clarify over this popular wives tale even though it's a common misconception in modern society and health/fitness.
