It&#x27;s an efficiency tool. Does every single one of your meals have to be &quot;the best meal ever&quot; where everything is made from scratch from ingredients you sourced yourself from the farmer&#x27;s market? Of course not. There are definitely times where you don&#x27;t care to enjoy your meal and just need some nutritional sustenance. Traditionally in those cases your options were fast food, or maybe some kind of protein bar. Soylent is a better alternative in my mind to those.<p>One pleasant side effect of the &quot;blandness&quot; is that it has made me really enjoy the meals that I do eat. I&#x27;ve noticed that the flavors pop a lot more. So now I have the best of both worlds.
