Re: keen.
"Quite frankly, I am amazed that there are people so lazy or lacking of taste so severely as to voluntarily forgo the joy of eating proper food in favour of drinking that baby-milk formula for adults."
Lacking in taste, or lacking in time and/or skills? The first example to spring to mind: I don't know what proportion of people eats a ten-minute lunch at the desk, but it's probably pretty high (in certain professions, at least).
"Maybe the next step is to skip the whole drinking inconvenience and feed it directly over an IV?"
This is something many people would go for, I'm sure, assuming an IV can actually be made convenient rather than highly invasive.
"Losing the taste of food is losing a part of our humanity IMHO."
But that's not really the point of Soylent, I gather - the point is to get rid of mediocre food so that when we do eat, we eat really well. As Rob himself says, I may enjoy beer, but I don't want to drink it twenty-one times a week.
