Can it be MealSquares instead of Soylent? :D

Comment author: Elo 28 August 2014 04:12:59AM 0 points [-]

I dont see why not... it just seems to be a variant on Soylent. I wonder if we could get funding via product placement...

D:
It's my company (along with my cofounder, John Maxwell, who is also a user here.) It's easily twice as rational as Soylent.

Also you should probably make a post somewhere on the interwebs saying "whats the difference between mealsquares and soylent". I googled it and got to a soylent forum I think...

That's a good idea, thanks.

I just saw your website, and it looks like a really neat idea. (I tried to make a whole foods soylent myself, and couldn't achieve a texture that didn't gross me out.) My body doesn't usually handle eggs well, but I'll probably join the crowdfund to try it anyway, since it'd be so convenient if it did work.

Do you have any plans to publish a recipe? (I imagine it would be possible to make substitutions, for people in situations like mine.) Kudos for avoiding so many of the common allergy foods (gluten/soy/corn/peanuts).

Soylent Orange is open source, we're keeping MealSquares proprietary for now.

Okay, thanks.

Now I really, really, really want to know in what SI units rationality is measured.

Litres, perhaps?

Inverse Watts?

Edit: Oh wait. Lumens, duh.

Comment author: Lumifer 28 August 2014 03:43:50PM 1 point [-]

Yoctoeliezers, of course.

None of the all-in-one foods I know of can be chewed. This makes it problematic at least for children as mastication may be needed for jaw development and cause dental misplacement. Beside turning away all those who enjoy chewing food.

Yeah, we're good for that reason, but OTOH it cuts out a big part of the geriatric market for us since many of them can NOT chew.

Will you give money/support to the efforts in the name of product placement? (Also - thats good enough for me even if you won't give money)

Comment author: RomeoStevens 28 August 2014 10:37:50AM 0 points [-]

We'd certainly send people your way. Money is up in the air this early in the startup.
