Why does every Soylent news story come along with the requisite 'Soylent doesn't make sense to me so it can't make sense for anyone' post? Stop for a moment and remember that everyone's lives, finances, schedules, priorities, etc are different.

I use Soylent 1.5 along with my girlfriend. It's a faster, easier, and less expensive way to have breakfast (and sometimes lunch) each day. It's especially handy when funds are tight. It's easier to prepare and far easier to track calories for those of us shedding a few pounds. And it's more complete nutrient-wise than what the majority of Americans ate for breakfast.

I don't do it so I can work more 16 hour days changing the world at Hooli. I do it so I can enjoy my life more. It helps me have the funds and the time to relax and enjoy the meals I do prepare or go out for with friends.
