uhhh meal replacement slurry has existed for 60 years and is cheaper than this poo poo

The project is both to make a healthy food alternative and a way to cheaply mass-produce it so anyone can buy it. If Soylent succeeds and the stuff gets mass-produced then the homeless won't have to skulk wearily around on a subsistence diet anymore. There's nothing vile about a project like this and I suspect goons would've been against say, Golden rice if the inventor had been an MRA or something

A. Do you think that we had no way of providing nutrition to poor people before Soylent?

B. If you flood the market with cheap mass produced food, what happens to the poor people in the agriculture industry, where an overwhelming number of poors work?

This poo poo isn't even cheap. That's over 12 dollars for a days worth of food and almost 400 a month. You could feed yourself with grocery store food for like a quarter of that and not want to kill yourself.

i can make a smoothie with 0 fat, high protein yoghurt skim milk and a shitload of spinach and fruit that tastes great and is like a whole well balanced meal of veggie goodness with no saturated fat whatsoever in under 5 mins for a fraction of the cost.

what benefit does soylent have, that i no longer need to eat a delicious cooked meal of actual food to supplement my liquid diet?

similarly any time there is a thread about suburbs, goons pop up to talk about how much they love to mow the lawn ???

It's actually kind of sad that home cooking is the norm - in Singapore kitchens are often poorly stocked and much of the country eats in large cafeteria type places. It certainly seems like a less solitary and expensive method to distribute food compared to everyone shopping for individual portions by themselves. We're losing a lot of money as a society to food repackagers and middlemen.
