If soylent were Japanese, 4chan would not shut up about what a cool and advanced food it is.

Yes. It's the ultimate expression of corporate dystopian food where your intake is reduced to a processed block of... stuff. That stuff will keep you alive in a survival situation but it's not advertised as survival food. It's advertised as food for the busy person who's always on the go and doesn't have the time to cook and/or the worthless piece of shit that doesn't have a wife at home to cook for him.

they were invented by people in the medical industry to feed to people that were sick and needed easily edible and digestible food.

idk who decided to market it to the public at all but anyone with access to a stove or even a microwave shouldn't be eating these.

Sure...
If you go into a japanese grocery store (other than gyoumu), they have entire aisles of this shit placed straight between entrance and registers. Guess what the slaves - err, salarymen buy when they have 15 minutes in between shifts.

Also, Caloriemate is the worst brand. Tastes like wet cardboard. I don't remember the name, but there's a brand that has a logo like a storeboard with a circle of stars around it. Those are tasty, at least.

>> No.20419513

The vanilla one was okay. There are worse snacks you can get in a Japanese store, but also much, much better. An onigiri with fish roe or salmon meat is going to give you much more protein and isn't made from wheat sprayed with vitamins, and costs like 30% less.

As much as it pains me to say soylent at least has nutritional value. Caloriemate has pretty much none. Half of it is just sugar.
It also only has a shelf life of 13 months stored in fairly good conditions.

Might as well spend more and buy survival ration bars which are meant for life rafts or other things, come with a 5 year life stored in absolutely horrible conditions and still have about the same nutritional value (calories and that is about it)
