    imo, it’s disgusting, hugely overpriced and dystopian as hell… they even named it after soylent green ffs.

    beans and rice is cheaper, tastier, healthier and can be made in a microwave in less than 20 mins!

      I can down a soylent easily in 3 minutes, or less than 30 seconds if I’m in a rush. And each one is about the same price id be spending on other food for my lunch at work anyways. And you can get them for like 20% off if you buy in bulk.

        the thing is, this kinda leans into the “grindset” mentality. eating food is an important human activity which has been vital for building social cohesion and culture going back all the way to the paleolithic era, it deserves some time and love dedicated to it, IMO.

        soylent/huel are like the AI art of food. soulless, bland, slop.
