People chow. And soylent.

[offroad]

Well some smart as heck dudes have been developing people chow nutritional recipes. Goal is $1 a day of DIY dried ingredients to eat. They have a commercial version for $10 a day. Called it soylent of course. The DIY is called people chow.

Ordered the soylent. Will let you know the results after living on it for a week. Delivery is a few weeks away.

I don't get it. Why give up the #1 pleasure in life, enjoying a good tasting meal?

I dunno, good food rivals #1.

Don't get the wrong idea. This is the daily calories. You still have plans to eat good creative tasty prepared food as often as you want to make it. The 20% diabetic and 40% overweight and 50% wage slave multiple job workers need an easy legitimate solution. --- it's still an experiment though.

I was thinking it was the #2 pleasure.

One doesn't have to talk nice to food before or afterwards.

There is either dramatic or literal excrement to deal with at some point in a personal relationship with either pleasure. Whether the pleasure is #1 or #2 there is always #2.

If you read through these sites there are competitive suppliers of all the ingredients. Even some organic suppliers who make their version from nuts seeds spices. Just ordered the one day trial for organic food grade inspected for $20 from one, and the one week trial of soylent from another.

The organic one is called astronaut food. Which is interesting and funny.

This thread reminds me of the old sci-fi story, "To Serve Man".....

"RUN! It's a cookbook!"

Was reading that DNA testing of supplements (ecinacia root, etc) found that there was not much truth to the supplement at all. Thus I am concerned.

Supposedly McDonald's hamburgers are not beef. They are nasty protein remnant pieces color changed with ammonia

As soon as money oriented corporate fat cats get in charge they change the ingredients to bad quality food. That scares me.
