Speaking as someone who consumes one and sometimes two meals out of the usual three prepared in a simple liquid form in order to save time on food prep, it has a perfectly rational backing that fits in with most of the other activities engaged in by normal humans. Saving the time I would normally spend preparing and eating breakfast and lunch makes sense because it allows me to work more during that time so that I can finish my overall workload sooner which in turn gives me more time in the evening and on weekends to follow the pursuits that I really enjoy, of which cooking and enjoying fine food is one.

I liken it to having an interest in and owning high performance cars. Driving a beautiful and powerful car in your off-time is a perfectly valid pursuit but using the same car for your daily commute resulting in more time spent in transit and the irritation of bumper to bumper gridlock and delays in exchange for the extra time 'enjoying' your car makes no sense if you can simply jump on a train or subway and skip the traffic even if that experience is rather more bland in comparison.

We shouldn't eat to live and nor should we live to eat.

Come on - as the founder of Soylent wrote, I like to go to movies too. But not three movies a day.

There are many things in life that are interesting and fun. For some its their startup job. Everyone coming to HN should understand that.

Or maybe they eat this so they can play more? I just find it totally disturbing that you've chosen eating food as one of your primary sources of entertainment. You must be a really boring person.
