How I Stopped Eating Food : Mostly Harmless

Calls it soylent, cures many of his ailments. Like some kind of wonder drug/food.

I certainly don't recommend this (it is after all an experiment) but it is quite interesting.

edit - what's in it: What’s In Soylent : Mostly Harmless

Pretty interesting - he doesn't really go into what he's consuming though.
And what a joyless existence that sounds!

Rik · 14-03-2013, 17:04

Interesting! (not doing it.)

2Dfruit · 14-03-2013, 17:05

just try and take my burger off me...just try

Rik · 14-03-2013, 17:05

Actually, I would do it if I could still eat custard creams and drink beer too.

roto · 14-03-2013, 17:06

I'd miss beer way too much...

(ha ha, Rik...almost simultaneous)

There has to be (physiological) downsides. Like, since he no longer chews food, his teeth/gums will get soft, I imagine.

I could get used to eating bugs. Lobster is basically a big bug. In many ways it's not as disgusting as eating the muscles of a large mammal.

I skimmed his blog - it's new and short. The guy seems pretty smart and the subjects are an interesting mix.

Bring some to the dt North American meet.

I liked the bit about not wanting to give out exact instructions and why. You couldn't pay me to do this but there's no question he's intelligent and not just some fruitcake, at least in my mind there isn't.

Am I the only one who thinks it looks like a frothy cup of semen?

handcraftedweb · 14-03-2013, 17:43

I keep telling her it's good for her and she shouldn't spit it out....

Alternatively, there's the chicken McNugget diet:

She's surprisingly thin.

handcraftedweb · 14-03-2013, 18:11
