Soylent is a bland shake filled with every micro- and macro-nutrient one needs to survive. The idea of creating this according to the creator, Rob Rhinehart is: independence from the financially taxing, time sucking, and sometimes even anxiety inducing act of choosing, buying, cooking, and eating food. In addition to the health benefits (losing weight is easy when you can just cut the amount of fat you add to your daily shakes). My only question is, where does this leave chewing, and tasting?
