See image in >>6526385, it's a 1.3 vs 1.4 comparison. Rosa Labs has heard criticism over the reduction in fiber (it was for digestibility), we'll have to see what comes out with 1.5. I'm not switching to some noname powder just because the fiber is lower. If I were concerned, I'd just add powdered fiber.

Precisely $3.03 per meal. It's $255 (with shipping [another benefit of soylent, it's delivered to your door, no more foodshopping] and tax) for 28 days of food per month, each packet has 1 days worth of nutrition inside, so if you divide $255/28/3 you get $3.

If you only want 2 weeks of soylent per month, It's $3.09 per meal, and $130/month.

If you eat peanut butter and jelly, rice, and ramen, sure. It's not possible to make a nutritionally comparable diet for $3/meal using conventional food sources. It might be possible if your time is worthless, because preparing that food is where the expense comes in. And then there's planning, and cleanup. And what if you plan a meal that later you're not in the mood for? your fresh ingredients go to waste.

$3/meal is really not expensive. I spent a lot more back when I was cooking everything.

I can't eat the same pulled pork 10 times in a row. I'm just one person, and it's not healthy. If I had a family, it might pan out.

Soylent can be eaten indefinitely without growing tired of it, because it tastes like nothing, and doesn't even require the exhaustion of chewing. Chewing is the worst, every chew, inspecting to see if it's small enough to swallow, checking to make sure nothing objectionable like a tiny bone or rotten bit has entered your mouth, thinking "am I still enjoying this?". Soylent just goes down your throat in about a minute, and you're done with it.

>>6526452
>>6526456
Yeah, fast food is exactly what Soylent is supposed to replace. For people who still enjoy food once in a while, it's just to replace the mindless "I have to eat this to live, and to not feel the pains of hunger" meals. Satisfying hunger pains with fast food makes you unhealthy. On top of that fast food is actually sometimes more expensive than $3.03 (unless you're ordering off the dollar menu and feeling full?). Soylent is much more filling than a Chick-fil-a sandwich.

But I don't spend 4 hours every day doing that. I spend maybe 45 minutes a day doing everything related to food prep, washing up, and so on. More at the weekends, when I make more elaborate stuff and also cook meals to portion up and put in the freezer for during the week. In return, I get tasty food rather than tasteless food.

What is the point in considering only the effort required for something without also taking into account the payoff? By this logic you might as well not bother doing anything because everything requires effort. No, dummy. It's what you gain minus what you lose. Not what you lose taken in isolation.

>I can't eat the same pulled pork 10 times in a row.

You don't have to eat it ten times in a row. I'll explain what I do:

>make big batch of food
>eat one meal's worth, then portion up the rest and freeze
>do this several times with different meals
>any time I want an instant meal, take a portion of what I want out of the freezer
>when the freezer is getting empty, make a new big batch meal, portion it up, freeze it

So at any one time I will have a decent number of different options available in the freezer for me. It doesn't take particularly long to begin with - the kind of meal this works best with are stews and the like, which can mostly be left to cook themselves - and all of the effort is frontloaded onto the weekend or an evening in the week where I feel like cooking. You also have to take into account that cooking a big batch of food takes almost no more effort than cooking a small batch. Economies of scale m8. And I know that the meals are cheap, and nutritious, and tasty. I'll emphasise the cheapness again - I certainly spend far less than $3 per meal.

It just seems a strange idea to pretend that it's an improvement to make food tasteless. Convenience, sure, but convenience food is an incredibly old idea. Have you ever been to a supermarket? Almost everything there is convenience food, the fruit and veggies and meat sections take up maybe 20% of the whole store.

$9 per day can give you 3 great varied meals a day and even leave money over for desert.

Breakfast poached eggs on toast. Cost $0.5. Prep/cooking time 10 mins.

Lunch chickpea salad with bread. Cost $2.
Prep/cooking time 10 mins.

Dinner chicken and vegetable curry with rice. Cost $4.
Prep/cooking time 30-40 minutes.

Dessert 1/4 pint of Talenti gelato. Cost $1.25

Total $7.75. The money you save per day can go towards the odd expensive ingredient. And you wont be dedicating more than an hour a day cooking.

Soylent will never be accepted on a cooking board as there is no cooking involved. I love the stuff personally and have felt better than I ever felt before when I got on it (I still eat one solid meal a day). But it being new and thus having no tradition, in addition to it having neutral/no flavor, will forever shun it from "true cooks" on here as the only trait it shares with food is nutrition, which is excels at more than anything else.

Some anon mentioned it doesn't have the EXACT nutrition one might need considering everyone is built different (no shit, it's suppose to be the average amount an average human needs), but find me a meal that even comes close to the nutrition soylent packs in it, not to mention it's engineered to have a high bioavailability of the nutrients and minerals.

This is bait, but I'll bite. It's not that we're scared. It's just that the absence of taste to us seems like something of a dystopian nightmare. There is little we'd rather do than cook and eat. It is our passion. Maybe if working or sports or gaming were your passion, the time saved would be worth it, though I suspect even those people prefer their food to have texture and flavour. I'm having a hard time imagining what kind of person who would prefer this stuff ofer spending time cooking.

Mention sous vide. Watch everyone simultaneously jump on the thread and cum everywhere in ecstasy.

No, you fucking retard, it is not because it's new that we don't like it. It's because paying for tasteless food, when for less money and marginally more effort you can prepare tasty food, is just not an appealing idea. Additionally because it's shilled everywhere here, because its fans pretend that it's actually a good thing for food to be tasteless, because they pretend that convenience food is a new idea, because they pretend that tasteless food is a good idea. What do you think Oliver Twist ate? Fucking gruel. The same slop you are pushing now. This is '''not''' a new concept. Tubes of nutritional paste are already sent to starving African children. It's not a new concept!

I'll say it again: make a thread about sous vide. Everyone here loves that stuff because it's - get this - ''good''. It's also new, but who cares? Newness is not a positive or a negative quality, it's absolutely irrelevant.

Not bait, thanks for replies.
I don't really think it's shilled as Soylent isn't the kind of company that does that, they were overrun with orders until just recently so it's not like they're trying to market. I think most posts are probably people that genuinely have had a good experience with it, but like most boards if someone's opinion is unconventional and goes against status quo they are "SHILL!" which honestly gets REALLY old.
"Meal replacement" isn't a new concept, but it also hasn't been tackled with such efficiency like this. I think one main problem people on /ck/ have is thinking it's a TOTAL meal replacement. Personally I drink it for breakfast and lunch while at work, then enjoy a nice meal for dinner. The two biggest advantages of this are the fact that I am getting all my nutrients needed (which nobody has given me a meal that can compare with soylent nutritionally yet), and since I am not exercising my taste buds 24/7 they have become more sensitive to taste and the overall experience of eating a well cooked meal has become MUCH more significant and special. That goes with anything too, the more you do it the less special it is, think about when you go to a particular restaurant as a "special treat", would it be as good if you went their constantly? No it wouldn't, the difference is I am applying this to the entirety of solid foods.

soylent is a novelty. who's going to go for it?

the fast fooders want convenience AND taste, which soylent doesn't come close to.

the health nuts get better nutrients in the form of whole foods rather than powders.

the people that hated eating and don't care to spend time/effort on it? yeah, that's their bitch.

WHY DO WE HAVE SO MANY GODDAMN SOYLENT THREADS ALL OF A SUDDEN?

[Anonymous No.6529541]

There used to be a 7 month waiting period to receive your order. They got so many orders that they were able to open up a bunch of new processing facilities, so now people are getting their orders within the month. Probably, a bunch of people got their Soylent for the first time and are excited about it.

>>6529512
>everyone is set in their ways and doesn't desire change
Anyway, the powder is even more nutritious than health food, since it's specifically designed to have the exact values of everything that a typical person needs.

[Anonymous No.6529557]

>>6529541
how do you know that powder is what it says it is? how easy is it to cut it with flour/cornstarch so the manufacturer/distributor can squeeze 5% more profit. are you going to test the composition? say you could, are you going to test every batch? there are some independent studies on the protein content claimed by various manufacturers. putting aside standard deviations, some were pretty fucking far from their targets.

I've lived off of way less then $130 a month and ate well too.

[Anonymous No.6529639]

>>6529557
Well, I'd be dead by now if it were just flour. Soylent has undergone the same scrutiny as anything else approved by the FDA. Do you test the composition of your foods? Some people have, and they find that even normal fruits and vegetables are devoid of the nutrients that would be expected.
>>6529564
I don't have to go to a store and buy it so there's no receipt. I don't feel like going through 1 year of bank statements to prove anything to you. :^)
>>6529568
You have to eat every day to live, ideally 5 smaller meals per day. If I'm bored, I'll blend something in, or go eat a meal with friends at a restaurant.
>>6529582
I have too, but I was spending 2-6 hours a day preparing and cleaning. It's only less than $130/month if your time is worthless.

I went to McDonald's for dinner tonight and got a McChicken combo with a bacon cheeseburger on the side. As I was driving to the second window the same girl was still working. She was acting somewhat obsequious and attempting small talk when she asked, 'why don't you come eat inside instead of in the parking lot where it is cold'.

That really bothered me for many reasons. First of all, I don't want my routine or actions to be tracked by a fast food employee. Secondly, she should not try to tell me how I should live my life. I do not want to eat inside because I find it less comfortable and would much rather be inside my vehicle listening to an audiobook and enjoying myself and my privacy.

Overall, I think it was very unprofessional to bring this up. I should have a clean slate with each drive through visit, not have to get the third degree because I committed some sort of faux pas. Which I don't think I did, because I often see people eating in fast food parking lots. How does she know I am not busy going to work or somewhere in a rush?

If you think cooking is a waste of time then maybe the Food and Cooking board isn't for you.

[Anonymous No.6530938]

The only situation where I can see myself using soylent is for ultralight backpacking/hiking.

Plenty of people already go stoveless, or make their own dehydrated meals. This seems like a fast, very convenient, and reasonably priced way to get good nutrition.

I would possibly add carbs though.

[Anonymous No.6530939]

>>6530932
Cooking is absolutely not a waste of time. I genuinely enjoy cooking and really love a good meal - which is why I'm on this board in the first place!

I just don't think that cooking should be my only option for affordable, healthy food.

[Anonymous No.6530946]

>>6530938
I can see myself using Soylent in any situation where I'd be eating Top Ramen, or a shitty fast food burger, or I got up late and I have to wolf down a quick breakfast.

I could never replace ALL my meals with it - just because I don't HAVE to cook anymore doesn't mean I'm going to stop cooking - but there are absolutely situations where just getting something cheapish, healthy, and super-convenient would be great.

i have had a month's worth of soylent (1.0) in the corner of my kitchen since launch. it just tastes so meh that id rather have real food. like a root beer ice cream float. and a double cheeseburger.

i eat a packet maybe once every two weeks or so, when im busy.

It has all the same nutrients as the rest of the stuff you would normally eat, but happens to be in liquid form.

It seems that the large intestine doesn't care that in the first stage of digestion the food was liquid, it just looks at what it has.

>>6530938
It is in fact very light, but you have to realize that you would have to bring a lot more fresh water with you than you normally would. This is where Rob Rhinehart's vision to "Feed the World" breaks down; third world countries need water more than they need food.

He didn't do it all by himself, many nutritionists and researchers have contributed to the soylent formula. :^)

>>6531224
One of the great things about Soylent is that it actually IS vegan. I actually tried being vegan for about 8 months before going full Soylent, and it's a lot easier to be nourished on a Soylent diet than any other vegan diet. I pretty much had it down, (getting B12 from breakfast cereal, etc) except for omega3. Soylent has a vegan source of omega3 :^)

The worst part about Soylent was washing the pitcher every day so I could make the next day's batch. The next worst thing was the stuff stuck to the sides of the cup every time I'd drink any. Other than that, it was actually pretty tasty. If it were cheaper and came in prepared, individually-packaged servings I'd be all over that. Thanks for reading please subscribe and visit my blog.

I think if you have soylent and keep meals for important or special occasions you'd appreciate food more. I'd like to do it four days a week and have a nice meal on the weekend.

Yeah, I've heard that some people are getting different versions of 1.4 too.

I just wanted to eat healthier, and I thought it would allow me to expand my culinary prowess, as I wouldn't be relying on fats and meat to make my dishes taste good. Making food that is both delicious and healthy is a challenge that I thought I'd like to try. Animal rights were only a small part of my decision to go vegan, and now I'm back to eating meat occasionally again.

>>6531508
Yeah, you still have to clean cups and the pitcher. As long as you don't let it dry up, and rinse with hot water, it cleans up pretty effortlessly.

>>6531531
