Sometimes it's hard to tell if someone on this site is parodying an out of touch techie or actually is one. It's a lot easier and cheaper to just eat fresh, healthy foods than it is to try to invent a new food alternative.
It's a lot easier and cheaper to just eat fresh, healthy foods
"fresh foods": So now you need to have enough space in a working freezer to store all the fresh vegetables/etc that you buy at a much higer price then junk food. Or you need to have enough time off to go to the boutique farmer's market that obvioulsy isn't in a poor-person area like where you live in.
Soylent is fucking expensive and it is ridiculous to suggest that people eating kfc / mcdonalds / etc and drinking liters of soda a day will convert to Soylent.
$3/meal is more expensive than kfc / mcdonalds? Maybe if you live in the US and only eat a couple of items off the dollar menu every time. In Canada a meal at McDonald's is $10...
And I am one of those people that used to live on McDonald's and Burger King all day every day.

I think we'll start seeing a difference when the economics improve making it a lot cheaper than fast food.
