The food replacement Soylent is now hitting 2.0. The new version will come premixed in bottled liquid form instead of powder, though the powdered version will still exist. It will cost $12 per day, as opposed to $9 per day for the powder. The liquid and powder versions will have slightly different compositions.
In other Soylent news (pun intended), Soylent products will now be shipping in two to three days instead of the multi-month waits previously due to overwhelming demand relative to supply.

The earth is full of delicious plants and animals, and we can be chemists and artists in our kitchens and combine delicious plants and animals into culinary delights. Why would you want to forgo that for snot in a bottle?
One should strive to achieve, not sit in bitter regret.

I live with someone with OCD.
She will one day burn the house down, or die of a heart attack, worrying about if the stove is off.
She cannot cut vegetables without counting endlessly. She can use the same knife to cut into a pot roast or something without issue.
To all the people that don't get why food preparation is such a bother, consider that you are mentally healthy and at peace with the concept.
As for me? Just to reduce the amount of problems, I typically order out and get things like... cereal in a box. lunch meat. pasta in a box. Anything that is dump-and-run, as otherwise she will be unable to eat it, and instead will eat from bags of chips and ice cream so that she feels full.
Something like soylent is a great for her, but it's not the only liquid meal we've tried... soylent is among the least expensive, though.
Remember, your 5 minutes doing something is her two hours and still not having eaten, her arms are sore from the same actions, the fact that she cant even cut the vegetables any more and its just a repeated action at that point... and that she's become incredibly frustrated and irritable because wow she hasn't eaten yet. And she's fat, because of the eating habits I described.
Tell me how to make it better (yes, she sees a doctor) and you win a free internet from me. The least you can do is let her drink the "snot" in peace.
