The drink that means you'll never need to eat another meal again: 24-year-old fed up with cooking and shopping creates dinner in a glass | Mail Online
A man who tired of wasting time and energy cooking and eating claims to have come up with a novel solution - a cocktail that contains all the nutrients he needs to survive.
Mr Rhinehart says his inspiration for the cocktail came from seeing an elderly family friend fall ill.
'I started wondering why something as simple and important as food was still so inefficient, given how streamlined and optimised other modern things are.
'I also had an incentive to live as cheaply as possible, and I yearned for the productivity benefit of being healthy. I'd been reading a lot of books on biology and I started to think that it's probably all the same to our cells whether it gets nutrients from a powder or a carrot.'
He maintains that Soylent contains everything the body needs in terms of vitamins, minerals and nutrients such as essential amino acids, carbohydrates and fat.
Going forward, he hopes his findings could help with world hunger.
