As I get old, I enjoy eating less and less. I mean, it is a chore to make food. And since there are only two of us, I always
make too much – unless I make the right sized portions and then there is too
little.
.
And I am never hungry, until we get food. Then I tear through it like a Bear.
.
Enter Soylent.
.
Named, rather whimsically, after the “recycled” human food in Soylent
Green, Soylent was created by a few tech nerds that essentially hacked food
information (in that they decoded what the body needed and created a modified
food source) to drive a fully rounded diet.
I first found out about them around a year ago.
.
At that time, the brains down at Soylent had to do work on their own selves to
create it, AND it was based on their body type.
You could, for a few thousand, give them all kinds of details and
samples and they would create a lab mix for you. Turns out, a bunch of $1,000
investments down the road, that everyone needs pretty much the same
nutrients. You might need fewer – but it
would be uniformly fewer – except in truly bizarre cases.
.
And so, they now sell Soylent.

In a late night wheat induced cramp-fest in London, I purchased my first supply. It takes 8 – 10 weeks for the first set, but
then you can get them in a week if you are a member. So we will see what happens.

I just got tired of headlines like these.
