The largest problem to long term success of Soylent must be that people will grow weary of eating the same tasting food. You can add a couple of flavors but that is it. Try eating exclusively your favorite food, I doubt you would enjoy it after 6 months.
I guess you could mix it with 1/3 of normal food, but still two out of three meals are the same always.
- Pxtl 13y agoSlim-fast and the like already get people doing that - Slimfast for breakfast and lunch, eat a regular dinner. And yes, they come in alternate flavours.
- aroch 13y agoAnd I doubt those people aren't weary of it...
- claudius 13y agoI’ve mostly lived of my ‘standard meal’ (eggs, ham, tomatoes and pasta fried in a pan for breakfast and dinner) now for the past four-or-so years and I still like it. Many other people eat bread with assorted cold cuts daily for dinner throughout their life.
- deletes 13y agoYes you are correct, i forgot to mention that Soylent is a basically a drink and has uniform taste, compared to a normal meal in which you chew many ingredients and get the individual taste of them.
- nether 13y agoI doubt anyone opting for a meal replacement drink is expecting it to taste great day-in day-out. It serves a (utilitarian) purpose, that's all. Enjoyment's barely a concern, it's liquid food.
- caublestone 13y agoI currently require over 5000 calories a day and I am doing 4/7 days entirely with Soylent. It is really hard. However, I am surprised I can even do it some days and think about how much harder it would be if I picked some other nutritionally complete dish that tastes better.
