+# Soylent - cyberfood for digital dystopia
+
+Soylent aims to provide all human nutrition in one powder.
+
+To function, humans need carbon hydrates, fats, proteins, and certain vitamins.
+
+Because it's not shipped in Europe, I found a recipe online and mixed it myself.
+
+there are many recipes, mine was optimized for:
+* cheap (1,33€ a day for me)
+* vegan
+* few time (around 20 minutes for 2 days)
+* few stores where to buy (one online shop and 2 stores)
+
+You can create your own recipes on https://www.completefoods.co/
+
+My favourite recipe has 8 ingredients, but does not really fulfill all nutrition:
+* 150g oatmeal
+* 150g sugar
+* 110g soy flakes
+* 4g iodine salt
+* 1.5 pills with diverse vitamines
+* 30ml sunflower oil
+* 50g pea protein
+* 70g wheat flour
+* has not enough Calcium, Vitamin A & D, and Choline.
+
+You just add the powder into a cup, add the oil, add water, and drink it/eat it with a spoon.
+
+## advantages
+
+tenable - does not go bad, you can store it for months, maybe years
+
+you don't have to cook (when you don't want to)
+
+you don't have to clean many dishes
+
+no organic waste, (almost) nothing is thrown away
+
+you can buy and store always the same stuff
+
+you don't need a fridge, a stove, nor an oven
+
+eating real food is more special and tastes better
+
+gaining or losing weight is easier, you just eat more or less
+
+## experiences
+
+after 8 months, I did not have enough iron, that was basically the only bad consequence
+
+people would give me food all the time, because they were worried
+
+I think I never went more than 2-3 days without eating anything else
+
+## criticism
+
+it does not taste very well
+* but also not very bad. mine actually tasted a bit sweet, with a consistency like cereals.
+
+bodies are complex and intransparent - not just input-output-machines
+* we don't know how specific bodies process food - e.g. iron processing
+* we don't know how bodies change when they eat specific food all the time
+
+focus on function over anything else, alienation from own body
+* alienation is not necessarily bad
+* but you are not a machine, you have to decide yourself if you want to become similar to one
+
+There is a lot of weird criticism, because food is sacred.
+I broke already many social norms, but few are met with as much weird looks as food hacking.
+So you will meet people who will feel unsettled, but don't know how.
+Even I felt really weird, when I prepared myself to eat the first portion: but soon it turned into being satisfied :D
