Rhinehart envisions Soylent as part of a future utopia in which no one has to grocery shop or scrub dishes, people spend less money and time on food, and everyone is healthy, having slurped down exactly the nutrients they need.

but I can't really say I'm up for it. To me, food is a communal thing and I enjoy the time I spend with my friends and family cooking and enjoying meals.
