Soylent (Food Substitute)
#9
RE: Soylent (Food Substitute)
Is this what the cocooned humans were fed in The Matrix?

I prefer Brawno, The Thirst Mutilator....its got electrolytes.

Seriously, more power to you if you can find a sustained market for this. I have serious doubts about this given people's fondness of eating for art, pleasure, entertainment and sport. I would would perhaps give it a taste test, but wouldn't consider it an occaisional meal supplement, let alone my primary source of nutrition, until independent tests are conducted by nutritional experts.

The proposed benefits listed are dubious. I understand the argumentative appeal for many of the claims, but the scale required to achieve any of this makes the assertions come off as a cheap marketing gimmick similar to how televangelists promise untold reward for sowing a $1000 love gift. For example, claiming that Soylent will help minimize the adverse environmental impact of traditional farming is almost laughable considering the number of people that would have to consume Soylent as their primary nutrition to have a noticeable effect. Theoretically sound, perhaps, but untenable. This of course doesn't consider the unforeseen environmental impacts of such a massive production of Soylent.
