yeah i mean youre just using soylent like a meal replacement/protein shake which is basically what it is which is why it really doesnt justify all its bs marketing and vc funding which is what ppl r making fun of it for xxp

fwiw this is the best tasting prepackaged protien shake ive had

whats funny is because soylent is vc funded by ppl who usually invest in apps its doomed to go out of business once those ppl realize theyve invested in a protein shake not an 10000000x multiplier unicorn

i mean there are a fuckload of similar products available mostly made by experienced food companies, but only one of them has super creepy marketing and frequent contamination issues

I eat like one kirkland protein bar a day - they are strangely good and bad at the same time. They aren't quite complete nutrition in the sense of having all the vitamins and whatever you supposedly need, but they do have a good amount of both protein and fiber.

i like larabars a lot, tho havent been eating them recently, its just fruit and nuts!

yeah those are actually tasty, more on the clif bar end of the taste <-> high protein spectrum

i used to do an odwalla / fruit smoothie for meal replacement

xp Wait Soylent is only 400 calories? The Naked juice protein shake is about at that and is pretty decent.

yah or Odwalla, pretty much any of the decent fruit smoothie brands

this is what totally killed me about the vegan mayo scammer people that were buying up stores worth of their product to artificially inflate the numbers -- people actually like their product! I figured it was hot garbage and the sales were all fake, but a few food review people really like it. It's just that there's no exponential growth curve for selling fake mayonnaise.

six years pass...

I just had a tooth extracted and I guess I'll try to survive the very soft foods only period with Soylent and maybe tomato or butternut squash soup to break the misery.

Life with my daughter showed me that a surprisingly wide array of foods can be successfully puréed. (But pasta isn't one of them.)
