If it wasn't clear: Soylent Orange is more complex than Soylent itself; it runs several ingredients through a blender, and takes more effort than cooking some basic meals. And going from 'hungry' -> 'eat' is something I have to specifically exert mental effort to do, so while this has been simpler and less effortful than my previous diet (and healthier), it has still been a significant distraction.

I didn't seem to develop habits at my most recent job, either, but that lasted all of four months before they lost the budget for my position, so that's not necessarily conclusive.
