I used Soylent to lose weight. It helped me gain very precise control over caloric intake.<p>You know what? I didn&#x27;t care that it was a bland nutrient slurry. I cared about the &quot;dehumanizing&quot; control it gave me. I cared about the options it brought to my life. Discovering significant extra time in my day by not cooking 8x a week was a nice bonus.<p>What I&#x27;m <i>really</i> seeing in your comments is that you&#x27;re struggling to understand how someone could think so utterly differently from you.
