A restaurant is overkill, how about just a vending machine? You could put quite a markup on them (like $5 a bottle) and people would buy them for the time savi

    At a caloric equality that would be about $3-$4 per meal of this (3 meals = ~2000kCal, which would be 8 cans of ensure)

    Have you ever actually drank Ensure? I like them. But I need at least 2, sometimes 3, to actually feel full. That's still $4 or so for a meal.

      Yes. I think they're revolting. I wouldn't be able to live on them. I didn't search for the cheapest option, so maybe the cost could come down a bit? I don't know if the other products make you feel fuller? You're right about it being an expensive way to live.
