It's tangential to the contents of the post, but as a lover of good food (I consider it my one real vice), I've always liked the idea of Soylent. A vast majority of the time I just need something to fill me up. And it's a neat idea to know you're getting everything you need from a single foodstuff (a la the Matrix's gruel). I feel like, if anything, it may make the times you sit down to a nice meal that much more enjoyable.
- CivilianZero 10y agoAs someone who has, in the past, lived on Soylent for months at a time when it was most convenient, I can vouch for your feeling. Every "normal" meal I had while living off Soylent tasted amazing and in between great tasting meals I didn't have to stress about food if I didn't want to. To me, Soylent is gaining control over a thing that gives me great anxiety, that thing being food. And having that control allows me to put even more effort into cooking great meals when I want to.
- kaishiro 10y agoMan, you nailed what I was trying to say. I never would have described it as anxiety - because off the cuff it actually sounds pretty silly to be anxious about food - but that is absolutely what it is.
