Spineless nerds terrified of losing their jobs begin to eat flavorless paste as to not enrage middle management by doing time-consuming things like "enjoying lunch". This isn't very difficult to understand.

basically a silicon valley nerd got tired wasting time cooking actual food and decided to make a cum like meal replacement drink.

He also decided to name it after something from fiction that's sourced from ground up old people.

Oh, put that thing away, Samurai. We all know what's going to happen. You'll swing your sword, I'll fly away, and probably say something like, "I'll be back, Samurai!" And then I'll flutter over the horizon and we probably won't see each for... about a week. And then we'll do the same thing again.

Soylent comes in a dry powder form along with an oil blend. You mix both of these with water for each serving.

there was a vice (or whatever) documentary about some hipster nerd that decided to try it for 30 days, and ended up filming in the factory they package soylent, and it surprise it was some filthy factory full of rats and rat poo poo

because supplements aren't regulated by the FDA, the companies that manufacturer them can operate however they want, which means plenty of rat feces for all involved

I made a Mac and Cheese tonight with fresh shells from a real Italian pasticceria, cheddar from an unpasteurized invite only food coop, and hand crafted caviared mustard.

What I'm saying is really is that all austists should be rounded up and gassed

You have not optimized your daily time allowance by wasting time on food.
