Protein shakes, water, supplements...

So... if there was an insane trial (emphasis on insane) in a lab where you could only drink protein shakes and water and take supplements, but couldn't eat anything other than soup or chili once a day, getting paid $150 every week, would you do it???
Why or why not?
To answer this question myself... I really don't know. I want to say yes because even though I'm not really eating, with supplements and the calories I'm taking in with the protein, I could probably last for a couple weeks and slim down quite a bit. However, I'm pretty sure theres still a few things I'd be missing in my diet that supplements and protein can't make up for without actual food. But I'd LOVE an extra $600 going into my savings every month! lol
