    I never understood the difficulty argument. It’s not like these people would be open to just slamming a glass of Soylent because it’s easy.

      It’s not an argument my dude, just a preference. I’m lazy and don’t like wings much to begin with so the fact that they’re extra effort just puts them down another notch. They’re annoying.

      Funny you mention that. I absolutely went through a DIY Soylent phase, but I was playing around with the recipe(s) via nutrition tracker apps, aiming to hit targets via “real” foods, not supplements, and aiming for “different” recipes. It’s actually not as difficult as you might expect, and I don’t even mind eating the same meal for a good chunk of my meals, but it just… didn’t… work… Maybe it’s the lack of chewing?

          I was still “hungry”. I was definitely getting calories, macros, etc., but I think it being in liquid form, no chewing, meant that some of the biological processes weren’t getting the expected feedback.

            Yeah, there was something strange about not masticating, but I did find it filling and unexpectedly satisfying.
