Lifestyle? IIRC, the creator of Soylent had a busy lifestyle and as a result barely had time to cook or eat and that's why he created Soylent.

If your lifestyle does not give you time to cook, you should try to change it, instead of inventing that mud.

Why should you waste time cooking if you don't want to and can exist without it?

^ is your opinion.

Some people prefer not to spend time on cooking.

Of course it's my opinion. That is an Internet comment, not a research paper.

Right! Even if you don't like to cook, not having the time to is symptomatic of overwork.

Or a desire to feel like you are overworking like a superhero

Just grind some nootropics into your Soylent to turn it into a Smart Soylent 3000™

I work about 9 hours a day and spend my remaining time with my family, volunteering, going to the gym, learning guitar, etc.

There are many times where I just don't have time, desire or energy to cook a healthy meal. A healthy meal replacement is a lot better than ordering pizza.

Don't assume that a busy lifestyle means 'overwork' - I just have different priorities.

I was talking about people who didn't have time to cook. You have time to cook, you'd just rather spend it doing things you enjoy more (and that's fine.) It's the people who can't cook, even if they wanted to, because they're trapped at the office, who I'm worried about.

My lifestyle does give me time to cook. I was merely providing a potential answer to OP's question.
