{Food} This Soylent Is Not Made of People

(this is a long post about DIY soylent. tl;dr taste check pass, ease of making pass, effectiveness remains to be seen.)

I don’t always have time to eat. Between 20-30 hour assignments, a research project, grad school applications and everything else, “food”, and more crucially, obtaining (edible) food, gets shoved to the back. Despite what I tell my parents, I may have skipped a meal here or there… or here and there and a couple other places too but shhhh. Missed breakfasts because of 8:30 classes, missed lunch because of being caught up in assignments only to rush to class late only to spend four hours in the lab and suddenly it’s past dinner time, missed dinner because it’s eight pm and I just got home and the only thing I have the energy for is to curl up on the floor and sleep…. the list goes on and on.

“btw,” a friend messages me, “have you heard about soylent?” He also gives me a link. Yay links! (I was actually remarking about Maxwell’s poetry at this point, but huh. Okay. Yeah, the dude who those equations are named after wrote poetry. It’s…not that bad? I guess???) He also adds that it is “tasty as fuck” and “surprisingly satisfying.” This, I can believe – Starbucks frapps as liquid meals, anyone?
