Sometimes you want simplicity and convenience. Other times you want a great experience. Soylent is the extreme case of the former. A Michelin three-star restaurant is the extreme case of the latter. And there's room for both. I'm not sure why the author has trouble understanding that. I would hate hate hate living on Soylent three meals a day. That would suck. But on the other hand, three awesome meals a day isn't really feasible either. It would take a lot of time to build the skills to cook like that, and it takes a lot of time even when you know how. There's no way I could fit that into the rest of the life I want to live, so some compromises on the food front are necessary.
