Freedom from Food

As someone who truly enjoys eating (and lovingly assembling each bite and taking my time, the social aspects, etc), I don't think I could fully move over to something like Soylent.

But during the weekday, I find thinking about lunch (packing it or deciding which restaurant to go to, etc) to be a real waste of time. In other words, are you guys exploring a formula that would work well for just "Monday to Friday lunches" combined with a regular diet for dinners and weekends?

I entirely expect to have both breakfast and lunch as soylent (like) meals and then enjoy suppers. I end up eating less healthy because I don't have time to make a good lunch every day, it's just not possible. Breakfast is usually skipped. I don't even care if it's disgusting, as long as I'm getting enough nutrients to sustain me.

Same here - It's also a cost thing. Because I'm often too tired/lazy to pack lunch for the next day, I end up eating out. At $10 a meal or more, these add up quickly.

I'd be curious to see how that use case pans out health-wise with Soylent.
