Instead of concentrating on taste, and texture, they just made powdered chemicals.

"Your body learns how nutritious...."

Buy a bag and tell us how it tastes.

It's supposed to be what a "human is made out of", so it really is like the movie. ( probably without processing humans )

So is pork. So pulled pork, pork chops, and bacon are the competition.

I'll take the real deal, until they ban it.

It's still cheaper to take a bite out of someone on the subway though.

Remember Carl Sagan's Cosmos? He had a segment where he dumped all of what makes a person into a big pot.
Made a mess but not a person : )

You know, you wouldn't need a stove anymore or a humongous amount of kitchen cabinets no more doing dishes and no more visits to crowded supermarkets ... 90% less trash/waste. Think about how much actual time you would could to do other things?? Plus, you would probably loose some weight and still be healthy.


Maybe only eat real food on weekends.... Surf and turf!

Oh good it is finally available, last time I looked into it you couldn't get it yet. Maybe I'll give it a try.

If you go on a steady diet of that crap your teeth and digestive system will atrophy. It will effect your offspring as well.
Eat recently killed living things in order to be healthy. Think of the kids!

A ton of sellers on ebay bought case lots and have broken them down to sell small lots to people that want to try it. Could be why the original producer was out of stock for so long. This is actually an edible version of openoffice.org or Linux. Soylent as sold contains all the necessary nutrients, but the end user is encouraged to add their own special ingredients.

Just say no to soy.



This is breakfast when I'm in a hurry. Throw in a slice of ham, and a cup of coffee.

I actually chug the drink unless it is blended with ice. The ham gets rid of the taste and adds a little more protein.

Just a quick bump out of the archive. I got a free bottle of Soylent recently at a convention I attended, so I figured why the hell not. Gave it a try, it was pretty decent. It was fairly plain tasting, but not in a bad way. I ended up ordering a case of Soylent 2.0 and I have one for lunch here and there when I don't feel like making a meal or dealing with getting food. They now have couple different products including a powder form, a coffee flavored one, and a snack bar. I haven't tried the rest yet but I assume they are good too.

Been using Soylent for breakfast/lunch or just brunch a few times a week off and on for a few years now. The flavor is good imho. I like the powder form better... I can use less water, add other ingredients as I choose into a nutribullet, the premade is OK but a tad thin compared to the way I made it since 1.0 version. (like a Wendy's Frosty) Not using as much as I used to... but the coffee version has me intrigued! I wonder what kind of coffee do they use.... I may have to try it with my own. I love my coffee (strong).

It's a small step from tasty alternative to mandatory restrictions.

I'm all for tasty alternatives. I enjoy a chicken burger "Annie's" since I must restrict my red meat input. Gout.

Ironic that I of hardy peasant stock have the disease of the aristocracy. ; )

I grew up in beef country and love a nice fillet. Burgers too.

if it's the same proteins, its the same problem. I focus on limiting red meat but dried legumes are the same.

Which is why pea based fake meat is not on my menu.

Half of the need/desire for fake meat is logical & sensible. As the Third World gets richer, as the First World exports jobs there, the people want a better diet.

Feeding those billions with an American Diet is going to be expensive, in terms of land use and food production. Meat takes more land to make than grain.

Half of this trend is religio-nutball driven. Militant eco-warriors and Climate Con and intolerant veggie holy-er-than-thou types are a growing market. I approve of making money fulfilling people's desires, I object to those who would make law to impose their religion on you.

In other words, I'm happy to be able to buy Halal ( Kosher ) food. I object to those who would forbid me a bacon cheeseburger.

Scientifically..
We've evolved to eat meat & plants. Argue the mechanism of evolution all you want, we are the product of extinct carnivorous plains apes. ( or they are our closest relatives ) Omnivores.

A poor diet doesn't let the brain develop properly. You need a lot of protein. Bad diet doesn't do a body much good either.

Look at N. Korea where generations of forced starvation produce a people nearly a foot shorter than their Chinese neighbors across the river. It's NOT genetic. It's nurture by a murderous cult dictatorship.

I'll make you a bet that the near religious extreme vegetarian cults produce stupid children. ( In fact there are studies, and parents have been prosecuted. )

Yes, you can have a healthy veggie diet. Just as with an omnivore diet you need balance & the right mix of nutrients. A pure protein meat diet isn't healthy either, that's why it's used as a DIET to lose weight.

"Soylent" as sold is a hobby food like energy bars. Maybe a good substitute for an occasional normal meal for busy folk, and a fun thing for foodies. As long as I can buy veggie burgers that taste good as MY CHOICE, I'm happy. take the choice part away and I'm not.

Xdigitalx, that's cool to know. Personally I'm too lazy to deal with the powder version, but I do see people online making all kinds of crazy mixes with it.

While you're comparing the NK's to the chinese, go ahead and compare the Taiwanese along side them. Funny, evil constitutional Republican capitalism somehow makes people taller and healthier after just a generation or two. Who'da thunk?

Take everything in moderation, to include moderation, and burn the calories you eat, and you'll be just fine.

Xdigitalx is a brave soul, I hear version 1.0 had a very noticeable taste of oil. Probably because it came with a bottle of oil that you added when it was mixed, maybe he left that part out.

I prefer to eat the flesh of animals. I'm not all that picky about which animals I eat.

Gen 1:28-29

28 God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground.”

29 Then God said, “I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. 30 And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds in the sky and all the creatures that move along the ground—everything that has the breath of life in it—I give every green plant for food.” And it was so.

1.0 did have the oil bottle... i LIKED that version ... how they perfected it into a powder form..i have no idea. During one of the previous versions, Soylent folks actually had some full time users craving red meat while using Soylent .... they found out it was due to not enough grams of a type of oil they used in the ingredients. Once they got the correct grams ... the cravings were gone. Wierd stuff!!

It really makes me appreciate all meat ... dinner and most of the weekend are normal food for me. If you have any type of vitamin deficiency in your meals, Soylent will help.

If you take solid vitamins... this is same thing only it is liquified and also a food/meal and has everything your body needs to thrive.
