I agree with this statement, and yet I think ideas like Soylent are great. Why? Because I don't eat quality home-cooked food three meals a day. Often, my breakfasts consist of a store bought English-muffin toasted and coated in peanut butter. I'm not eating that because I get to savor the amazing flavors. I'm eating it because it's: a) quick b) somewhat healthy and c) provides me with a reasonable amount of energy for my morning. Some meals I eat for the enjoyment of the food. Those are meals I wouldn't replace with Soylent. Some meals I eat for the utility that the food provides; I'd happily replace some of those with Soylent.
