Hey, works for me. I eat to live. Maybe once
a week I’ll crave a milkshake or a steak.

My guess is that it looks uncomfortably like Soylent.

Thanks for the heads up.. I like to stay ahead of the curve.. This sounds yummy, with a pinch of this and a dash of that, who knows..?

I’ll check to see if I have a recipe that gives it a punch, so to speak.. :)

"Soylent Green is people!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

This is a very bad idea, because to actually be nourishing you have to make it out of conservatives! Otherwise it would be just hot air and BS. ;-)

Thanks. To this day I do not understand the humor of “Now With More Girls”. Does that make Soylent more tender, I mean it’s ground protein meal, they were experimenting with processing whole animals for years previous (”The fun part is the scream when you turn on the blender”) to the movie.

Oh well, “powder to the people” or “people into powder” or whatever. IMO it’ll never replace really good Greek food.

More estrogen, I suppose.

Frankly, I like the concept. I’m not really a ‘foodie’ in any form. I eat to live, not live to eat. If they could come up with something that was reasonably tasty, I could deal with it.

Already barely eating.

Hope n change.

Someone needs to introduce this man to my wife's fried chicken. If you can't get enjoyment out of eating, you are wasting a huge portion of your life.

I'm getting images of Scrooge and his bowl of thin gruel here.
