Perhaps lazy is a bit of a strong word....I guess I meant....people who...don't want to perform...tasks? I've still not seen a legitimate answer. I mean if someone didn't have teeth, or if they were allergic to a lot of things, or if they literally didn't have 1 minute to spare either in the morning or at night then I could see it. Or if they were really into fitness and weight loss and wanted to fit into that new swimsuit by spring break then maybe I could see it. But it doesn't look to me like Soylent is nutritionally flexible enough (it comes pre mixed in pouches) to be used as an actual nutritional supplement for the masses (nutritional needs are different depending on many, many factors). So maybe it tastes good? But does it provide the variety that can be found either in nature of even at a restaurant? So maybe some people simply don't care for variety? So why not make a Soylent-like product that's more customized to your nutritional needs? The guy published an extensive blog about how he did it so you can too. So does it really come down to just not having the time or the inclination to feed yourself? It just seems like letting someone push a slurry of chemicals into your body, and paying them to do so no less, is a strange life choice.

If I thought for a second that you actually wanted a legitimate answer, then I would give you mine. But when you say things like "literally don't have 1 minute to spare" I know you just want to put people down. You don't want to know because you have already judged everyone and it shows in all of your comments. I'm not going to waste any more time thinking I can convince you of anything when you so clearly have already decided. Which is fine. You don't have to like the idea of Soylent. But you also don't have to shit on like that.

  I promise that my intention isn't to shit on anything. It just seems to me that most people are trying Soylent either because it saves time or because it's easier than cooking proper food. And those two reasons, to me, don't sound like a good reason to try a nutritional supplement.
