Nutrition has piqued my interest recently, particularly ways to create the perfect diet for minimal effort. I HAVE TO min-max my life.

Is it possible to artificially create meals that aren't missing anything in regular foods? For example, there are many nutrients that are water or fat soluble therefore its not like one can just have a powder that contains all required nutrients. There is also the issue of forms of nutrients, where you will find many stipulations about maximum intake of vitamins/minerals from supplements whereas eating them as part of regular food does not have the same recommended limit. There is also the issue of complexity in diet that is not yet understood so we may believe the diet to be perfect but there may be some miniscule nutrient that is lost in processing that results in serious repercussions.

What are some realistic methods to accomplish this?

1. Creating a plant that offers all desired nutrients
2. Mixing pure nutrients/chemicals together to create a purely artificial product
3. Mechanically combining various foods in perfect ratios into a paste that is then flavoured, cooked and packaged
4. ???

The problem is doing this on a small scale.

I would need an industrial machine and food scientists to figure out how to flavour a paste of broccoli, spinach, potato, best, salmon, eggs, etc. to not taste disgusting.

It's also not cost-effective. Purchasing these foods at a supermarket to only them blend them together is crazy.

The desire is to have food scientists figure out the ideal combination of foods and flavour them to not be shit.

I've never seen a legitimate critique of Peat, it's all just rhetoric and regurgitation of normalfag dogma.
