I agree with you. That said, the creator claims that he "appreciates" food more, while on soylent. Rather than paraphrase, here's the relevant quote: Soylent

I agree with you. That said, the creator claims that he "appreciates" food more, while on soylent. Rather than paraphrase, here's the relevant quote: Soylent has changed my relationship with food. Before I probably craved pizza and cheeseburgers because that was the easiest way to provide my 6'3" frame with the calories it needed. Now that my nutritional needs are always met I am able to appreciate food more for its flavor, and started really enjoying sushi. Sushi is especially interesting because there is such range and intensity of flavors, and it is so difficult, yet rewarding to make well. This makes it pricey, but I spend so little on food I can enjoy nice sushi once or twice per week. Fast food restaurants look laughably obsolete to me, like a Blockbuster. http://robrhinehart.com/?p=570 http://robrhinehart.com/?p=570 Whether this holds true for the majority of people, time will tell. I'd be interested in trying, at least.
