Here is a 30 minute plan to feeding yourself for a long time without any real effort:<p>0. Have transportation (or a nearby store), the ability to boil water, and a large vessel to put water and food into. You may also want a sheltered place to cook&#x2F;consume the food, though this is not required.<p>1. Go to the nearest food store. Anything larger than a kiosk will do.<p>2. Buy bags of rice. Any kind will do.<p>3. Buy bags of beans. Any kind will do.<p>3a. Buy lentils or chicken if you want more variety. Any kinds will do.<p>3b. Buy salt or spices if you like the flavor of salt or spices. Any kind will do.<p>4. Go home, making sure to take the items you have purchased with you.<p>4a. Rice and beans are stable at room temperature for a very long time. Do not let them be consumed by pests, however.<p>5. Throw a few days of consumption worth of those items you purchased into a pot of boiling water. Don&#x27;t try to boil the bags themselves unless you are really desperate.<p>6. Boil for a while. 25 minutes will probably do. You can do other stuff during this 25 minutes. You can remove the water afterward if you desire.<p>6a. This meal is stable at room temperature (23C) for a couple of days time. You will need to find a way of cooling the food to 4C if you wish to keep it longer-- up to 7 days maximum.<p>7. Now you have a flavorless though quite filling and nutritious meal. It&#x27;s probably cheaper, more nutritious, and more flavorful than Soylent. You can survive on this for a long, long time.<p>7a. Don&#x27;t forget to actually eat the food you have prepared. A utensil such as a fork or spoon may be useful, though not required. Additionally, a smaller secondary vessel such as a bowl may be useful, though not required.<p>8. Repeat as hungry; return to step 0 if supplies run out.<p>Bam, now nobody has a single excuse to eat Soylent.
