I used Soylent on a super long backpacking trip where space and weight were huge considerations. It tasted awful but was incredibly effective from a dietary perspective.
- dagw 11y agoIs Soylent really that much more space and weight efficient than existing[0] dehydrated meals? These dehydrated meals have the added advantage of not only tasting fairly decent (especially if you also bring a small selection of spices and dry herbs), but also lets you eat something different every day.

- ucaetano 11y agoI agree with the practical uses of it: emergency rations, etc. But why would anyone voluntarily unnecessarily eat it is beyond my comprehension. But then, some people might not enjoy eating as much as I do :)
- dasboth 11y agoThe positive stories I've heard about Soylent revolve around convenience. Even for someone who loves to eat, Soylent can be practical for 50-70% of your meals which makes you enjoy the other 30-50% more. I assume Soylent is also cost-effective, but I have no idea. I tried DIY Soylent (as the 'real' stuff wasn't available in Europe) but after one batch of disgusting sawdust I gave up. It was a shame as I could see the benefits.
