quote [ A new startup wants to make meals as efficient and joyless as possible ]
I suspect the inventor has food-related sensory issues, and can see an argument that this could cater to those with similar issues. Or maybe I should just embrace the processed food squares without thinking about it too hard.

Meal replacement shakes already exist.

I think I got roundly beaten down in the Soyant Green post for saying that I rather admire the purity of vision that this kind of food-stripped-down-to-its-base represents. I wouldn’t want to eat it myself, but I kind of wish I could be so utterly and unhealthily invested in some project or artistic work that I could resent even the distraction of taking in calories.

Where the argument falls down, in this case, is that these particular food units aren't really very much easier or less work than actual food--or at least, prepackaged meals. You still need to cook these things and put sauce on them. A prepackaged salad or microwave dinner would be just as fast.
I actually understand and respect Soylent and similar products, because they require no thought, utterly minimal prep, and have no culinary aspirations. These things somehow combine the worst aspects of real food and engineered food at the same time. |
