I never really "got" the Soylent craze. Maybe it's because I'm outside the workforce (I'm in highschool), or maybe it's because I'm on the east coast (where we're less on the cutting edge in general), or maybe it's because I live in a house where we eat ~1 homemade meal every day (dinners, and sometimes breakfasts on the weekends), and even I can make a half-decent meal (sausage, spaghetti, and maybe a salad on the side) in about 10/20 minutes, provided we've got the ingredients. Maybe it's because I'm hesitant towards putting anything made by software engineers into my body (software failure rates in a food product are unacceptable).
Nope, it's none of those: it's because I watch movies. Lots of movies. And I live in a house with people who watch more movies than I do. So whenever I hear the name "Soylent" there's a nagging voice in the back of my head:
it's people, isn't it?
Seriously, they need to change the name.
