whats the name of the disability to preferring indoor plumbing to carrying buckets of water from the closest river?

i can't imagine wanting to waste time on food, i've felt this way for as long as I can remember

I'm sure the same could be said for a number of disabilities. The fact that you've compared an essentially unstudied liquid diet with indoor plumbing, and all other sources of food to hauling water, makes feel somewhat vindicated in my assessment. Not happy about it though, because it implies a kind of predatory relationship between Soylent marketing, and their intended demographic.

I can't tell you how few people I hear trumpeting it as a meal replacement now and then, vs. those who seem to have an extreme difficulty either with food, or food prep.

are we talking about soylent or the concept of a meal replacement?

The concept of (near) total meal replacement with unproven sources of nutrition, such as Soylent.

Not quite sure. Is it related to the disability where you prefer a colostomy because you can't imaging wasting time in the bathroom?

If I could some sort of pill that meant I didn't have to go to the bathroom, I most definitely would.

One easy solution is to simply stop eating, natural selection will take care of the rest.
