Wednesday is Soylent Day

What if you just don’t really enjoy food very much? What if you’re totally fine eating the same thing every single day? What if you think food is an inefficient way to get what you need to survive? What if, rather than eating “food,” you just mixed a white powder (that is definitely not made of peoplebecause it’s made of soy protein isolate instead) with water and drank that in food’s place? This hour: a look at what you might call the non-foodie movement and the “powdered food” meal replacement product that is Soylent.
