I'm not good at caring about food. I hate doing groceries and cooking. Yet I still care about eating well.
A while ago I had a good reliable diet when I spent a few months with a good cafeteria at hands, but I don't have the motivation to shop and cook the proper meals myself everyday. My wife sometimes does it but I can't expect her to cook for me all the time. So then I end up at restaurants eating less-than-optimal food at a more expensive price.
Also when I travel, it's hard to maintain a good diet as you often don't have a choice in what you can eat and have to pick the best approximation you can from what's on the menu where you are.
So overall, Soylent is good for me because:
- At home, it's my baseline food. I know that I'll have at least 2 meals a day with proper caloric intake. Sometimes I'll eat all my day meals with Soylent, but most days I go eat with friends for 1 meal, or my wife insists on cooking something.
- On business trips, I can carry my food in my luggage and make sure I eat properly and maintain my routine.
It's just one less concern in life. I get the stability of a good baseline diet and I still have space for tasty stuff when I decide to take 1 less Soylent portion a day and go eat out instead. So it makes food enjoyable again. The chores part of food is gone: Soylent is a 2min task in my day. The fun part of food is back: when I eat out, I can focus on just enjoying the food.
