Beyond my scepticism regarding the long-term benefit of a simplification of eating down to relying to a single designed food source - I am also worried about the mindset of a person who is motivated in doing so.
- Nickoladze 11y agoMy mindset is that I live alone and I heavily dislike cooking food. When not consuming soylent, I live entirely off of take-out and delivery food. There is almost no way that Soylent isn't more healthy than the stuff I would otherwise eat.
- sigma2015 11y agoThen you should reevaluate your eating options. There is more than cooked or take-away or Soylent. How about this: - Whole-wheat bread - Avocado - Smoked fish - a piece of feta - an apple - a banana Just one of many cold-dish very healthy meals. A good mix of everything - carbon hydrates, proteins, fats, ruffage, vitamins, minerals - enjoy.
