Pushing fake food for $$$, no one knows the long term consequences of ingesting this.

Just eat real food.

I'm with you. This seems a very poor solution for anyone who cares about their health. I just hope it's very clearly labelled if it catches on, though I expect their business model depends on it's presence being obfuscated. Somehow I doubt that a "Now with FiberX by Microtec Engineering Group" will be a selling feature.

Also, oatmeal with a bit of sugar tastes pretty good.

Oatmeal can be pretty good with butter, pepper, and salt. But I also like rehydrated refried beans. Lately I've been mixing fermented vegetables with rice, and yogurt, butter, paprika, and sour cream. I like it a lot but I suppose this would give most people a cringe thinking about it.
