SoylentNews
From Lee Hutchinson over at Ars Technica comes news about the unofficial foodstuff of SN. No, the one that isn't bacon:
It's been more than a year since Rob Rhinehart's "How I stopped eating food" blog post; in that time, the entrepreneur started a company, hacked his body, engineered and iterated on a food substitute formula, built a distribution infrastructure, and collected millions of dollars. It's all been leading up to today, the day his company's product ships to customers. Soylent has been loosed upon the world.

It is also common but stupid belief that news things are automatically bad.
You have tried it already? There are plenty of food that I think taste bad, doesn't mean it is bad to have those choices available. Most fast food don't taste good either, but when I am in a rush, "not really good" still have to do. Europeans take the time to have a good lunch, most of the rest of the world don't.
Yeah, there are plenty of healthy foods available, but tell me which one needs no preparation before eating, is hassle-free to eat, contained all the nutrients my body needs, and don't need a fridge to keep in good condition?

People in less fortunate times/places were/are lucky just to have food to eat.
But I don't call it progress if you have to work so hard that you barely have time to eat.
Maybe fine if you are doing something important that really benefits the world.
