I bet they're just lazy. They should just buy less machiatos and avocados. They could fix their economy if they bought this new cheap and fantastic product called "Gruel". You can also get the lunch variety, "Scop". Only available through company credits.
As a guy who almost exclusively "eats" Soylent, I feel targeted lol. I know your post is supposed to be dystopian satire, but... Unironically though, I'm the healthiest I've ever been (375lbs -> 225lbs), and my monthly food expenses are less than a quarter of what it used to be. Been doing this almost 8 years now and while I recognize it's not for everyone, some people could use a little gruel.
Do you use the powder? How do you typically mix things up?
I did the powder for the first ~3 years when I was starting out. I lost almost all the weight in 1.5 years, and since then have just lowered bodyfat percentage and increased muscle mass, while maintaining weight. These days I'm in a better position financially and can afford the premium of the ready-to-drink bottles so I mostly do that. Unironically I found that "mixing things up" with flavors and additives triggers that hunger within me to consume. I don't mean hunger like caloric, stomach grumble hunger, I mean hunger like an addiction hunger. Keeping it to a single flavor, and a strict schedule helps me turn that part of my brain off and I can now make the mental distinction between "fuel" and "pleasure". When I am out for date night with the wife or have people over for football it's "pleasure". When I'm getting up in the morning for work or eating lunch in-between tickets or sitting down for dinner between work and evening leisure it's "fuel". I consume accordingly, and single-flavor soylent is my "fuel".
Not them. I use the bottles. I did the powder for a while but kinda fell off of it. Thinking of going back, my coworker wants to introduce me to the world of flavor additives to Soylent so that should be fun I guess. Peanut butter and banana Soylent doesn't sound so bad.
