So technically I'm eating Joylent as Soylent...

Mark Dain Thinking of getting back into Soylent/Joylent. I can't remember why I stopped but it wasn't bad. Don't expect delicious but as a "food for fuel", it worked really well.

Asko P. I watched a documentary on Soylent. Personally, I'd rather not live on a thing that's composed in an old factory building where rats are running around and that has not gone through extensive testing. This is my health after all, the most important thing.

Mark Dain So technically I'm eating Joylent as Soylent only ships inside the USA :(. I did research before I bought a batch of Joylent. The conditions seem better but I wouldn't worry about Soylent. I saw the documentary with the rat too, that was probably because they'd only just rented the place; there wasn't proper infrastructure there as I think they'd just begun setting up what you can't even call a factory yet. I'd love to see up to date photos and videos of how they make it today; I'd expect it to be far cleaner and more controlled.

Asko P. But is it really cheaper than regular food? I mean the kind of food you cook yourself in the kitchen not the kind of food that you buy from a burger joint. The cost would be pretty much the only reason why I'd use that sort of thing, but apart from that, I prefer tasting actual meat and such.

Mark Dain Money isn't the concern for me; I often skip breakfast as I'm in a hurry and my diet isn't exactly balanced anyway. I'm a mess when it comes to food because I can't stand cooking (I'm no good at it anyway). Soylent is intended to replace the fuel bits of food. If you have the luxury of time to prepare meat for breakfast, that's great and you should continue doing that. I'm also a carnivore too and almost every meal I have has meat in it. I won't give up meat, I'm just done with cereal and sandwiches, they get very boring after a while but they are quick to make.
