This is not meant to be a counter, I’m curious: have you? Cause I haven’t, and I’ve always wondered who the target audience for that stuff is. Everybody I know thinks it’s stupid, and I’ll at most use drinkable food for health reasons (as in, if they have really sore teeth and can’t chew or sth like that, or can’t keep solids down) or if they’ve misplanned and can’t have real food (like between two appointments).

I rely pretty heavily on meal replacement shakes (not Soylent; they taste like ass, and not the good kind). It’s part of what allows me to actually enjoy solid food. I’m sure you can imagine that force feeding yourself something that you normally enjoy would quickly make you form negative associations with that food.

I loved that shit, saves me so much more time to do things I enjoy. Eating is a chore to get nutrients into my body, and I often forget to eat for large periods. A quick drink is so much better (except during winter when it’s cold).
