I've found this last night and it is claming to be future food and vegan, even though it has fish oil and I'm not sure what naicin is; milk protien? I'm not so sure.
I like to eat food and taste new things. I don't want to drink a drink with everything crammed in it.
For your information, Niacin naturally occurs in plants and animals.And, even though it's very common it also annoys me every time, I guess they think fish is vegan.
I like to eat, basically.
If it is vegan then I would give it a go, because for me it isn't about enjoyment... As eating anything including veggies is still killing a life form so I do really see that as enjoyable; eating for me is just for sustenance. But wouldn't your body experience some impacts from only eating smoothies... I have heard of people going on silly diets and eating only soups and such and apparently they lost weight because their body didn't have to work as hard and it was working over time; but I guess that may just be the initial impact until your body accepted the change and got used to it... But I don't want to intentionally lose weight... if it happens on its own (nature influenced by higher) then that's fine but I just don't want to kill my organisums just to lose weight.
killing a life form is something humans do. cremation and such. when an animal eats a plant, is it killing it? well saliva stimulates growth and the plant becomes the animal, just as the plant grows from organic matter. humans might remove the plant entirely, process and consume it. but they also artificiallly (artful -- cunning and contrivement) seed plants in a way animals do not.
you aren't killing plants by eating them. although being grown in a windowless building is a depraved existence for something that has adapted to coexist with global systems -- weather and ecosystems. perhaps humans should be more humble and less scientific about their approach. survival is subjective and necessity can be manipulated as a contolled condition.
soylent is scary. have you seen the old futurist film soylent green?

As in... just as a plant grows from waste matter, animal decay and organic mulch, humans that use their energy for renewal and creativity and growth and selective plant breeding and good things, do not KILL life by eating it. If someone sat on a couch their whole life and ate to their point they needed to be lifed out by a crane to be cremated, then yes... potentially heat is all that would result rudimentally.
How is eating it not killing it... the reason a plant is alive is because it is intact - once no longer intact it is no longer living. So no eating plants are still killing a life form.
I'd be really interested to try it if there were more studies to how our bodies adapt to it over a long period of time I guess (are there many studies now?) but as long as it's vegan I'd probably try it.
I do go through periods of time where I just hate thinking about food/cooking/having to eat because I am pure lazy and other things but yeah like. It's an interesting idea and I'm surprised it's taken this long to get out!
Also can we PLEASE not do the whole eating plants is cruelty thing here????! I get enough of that cr** from my family as it stands it's the last thing I'd expect from a freaking vegan forum.
Guys, part of it is not vegan:
"Is Soylent vegan?
The powdered component of Soylent is vegan. Our separate oil blend contains non-vegan ingredients (fish oil)."
I'm not so sure.
