Det. Thorn: Ocean's dying, plankton's dying... it's people. *Soylent Green is made out of people.* They're making our food out of people. Next thing they'll be breeding us like cattle for food. You've gotta tell them. You've gotta tell them!
Hatcher: I promise, Tiger. I promise. I'll tell the Exchange.
Det. Thorn: You tell everybody. Listen to me, Hatcher. You've gotta tell them! Soylent Green is people! We've gotta stop them somehow!

"Provide a better alternative to what we usually eat"
*has steak in the background*
Yeah... I'm pretty sure there's nothing better than steak.

Seriously... is this a joke? Even in the video they're like "other foods are there to maximize taste and texture but we're engineered for fueling your body"
I actually like taste.
Also they say it's $3/meal. Family of 2/2 means I get a budget of $27/day assuming kids get 1/2. I don't know about you, but I can prepare fully balanced meals even in Canada for $27.
I'll give them the time factor. Dump into a blender and blend with water. I can't match that speed.

The ironic part about this is that it looks like it'd be perfect for something like space travel where you have limited weight you can bring and zero access to basically everything.
But they don't even subject astronauts to this. They truck them real (albeit specially prepared) food.
Not that they could use this easily in space anyway...They'd have to build a space blender since there's no down.

Maybe if it wasn't so dang expensive. A powder costing 3 dollars a meal, I can eat a hell of a lot better than this, have it taste a lot better and be cheaper.

Thanks OP. I've been wanting to give this a try for a long time.

[QUOTE]Haven't read into this.. But why not ensure or other meal replacements [/QUOTE]

Many of the other meal replacement drinks contain a lot of sugar and don't have enough calories to be a real meal replacement.
Plus, I've never found them to be filling at all.

I've heard about this. Apparently, very popular in Silicon Valley were some people don't have the time or don't want to have real food as meal.

I'm curious about how this will affect people's health with long-term and regular use of this. As with many things in the body, the digestion system must work and exercise regularly. If you mostly drink your food, your disgestion system may waken over time and perhaps one day, when you eat real food, something bad may happen...

You know the numbers you're making fun of are the total for one package, not a single serving, right?

Very interested. But:

1) Why 1640mg of sodium? Isn't that much sodium bad?
2) What does it taste like?

Maybe just take this when you have no time to cook? If I go this route, I'll probably cook or eat out on the weekends/holidays.
