As someone who also loves food and preparing it, I am also a consumer of Soylent.

While it takes away the joy of a well prepared meal it gives that back in time and convenience. I can't help but spend too much time in the kitchen when I'm making something. I go overboard and over do it to a fault.

With a food like Soylent I can get in and out in minutes. Eating Soylent does not mean you can't spend time making a great meal when you have the opportunity too. After several weeks on this new food I appreciate my home cooked meal much more than I had in the past. Win-Win as far as I'm concerned.
