"Never Eating Again"...?

Options
I thought this was neat but I'm not sure if it's realistic and thought I would share it with everyone. It sounds really cool to me!

TL;DR: Apparently a man has decided to "never eat again" by inventing a nutritional drink that fulfills all of the bodies needs. He's personally been testing it for quite a while and has had some very interesting results.

    I actually bought a month's supply during the funding campaign. I'm thinking that it might have some potential for a quick meal, but I'm not ready to give up food just yet! I'll let y'all know how it goes when it gets here.

    Awesome! I've been thinking of buying it but I'm just not sure. It does say to have regular meals at least twice a week to make sure that you're getting enough exercise with your mouth (as you won't be chewing anymore) it also says to chew some gum too. Please let me know how it works out for you! :]

    I dunno. Maybe it's cuz hubby's a chef, but I find myself less and less trusting of things that are not real food. chemically created nutrients...? I'm not even that big on supplements, :p

    good luck though.

    I think thats just ridiculous. Taste is one of the five senses we use to experience life. You're just depriving yourself of one of your senses by ingesting this sludge.

    Aggg... Surely the pleasure of eating is not just the tastes but the textures, the inter-marriage between soft and crispy, sweet and salty, sometimes you want cake, sometimes a cracker. Sometimes a piece of cheese, sometimes a piece of chocolate. Sometimes an egg for breakfast, sometimes a bowl of muesli.
    I've just discovered watermelon and feta salad for instance, which is a divine combination.

    And what the hell is IN this gunk? do you really want to ingest it?

    That's no fun. I enjoy creating good, tasty, colorful meals and eating them.

    I don't want to live in a world where food exists but isn't in my mouth.

    Sounds cool. Having to eat food has really been dragging me down lately. This looks like the perfect solution.
