Real talk why don’t we have food pills yet? Hell, we don’t even have a human equivalent of dog food where you can just eat it and nothing else. I don’t want to put any level of thought into fulfilling my animalistic obligations, I don’t even like that I have them in the first place.
Because we actually don’t know what the “ideal diet” is for humans. Or pets in fact. Pets get several health issues from eating kibble their whole life.
If we did the same for people we’d die at 50 from kidney cancer or something.
I get that but you can’t even get close. I looked around me and all meal replacements are severely deficient in things we know that we need. Besides, how’s it any different to the current situation where everything we eat has to be fortified because it lacks nutrients? Just cut out the middle man and give us the nutrients directly. EDIT: I know it’s not your fault I’m just frustrated at the contradictions of it all.
It’s pretty telling how the closest we’ve ever gotten was a bazinga-brained startup product laced with dog hair and rat shit ended up being more expensive and literally illegal to sell in my country because it lacks a lot of nutrients capitalism needs to die already 😩
Funny, I was ranting much the same a couple years ago, after getting a cat. She eats couple of vet-recommended dry foods (supposed to be better for the teeth than soft food). And sure as sure it got me wound up. Why can’t we have that? I barely have time to eat in the morning or on lunch break anyway, and most of that stuff is bad for the health in one way or another. Just gimme one of those sci-fi ration packs or something!
Because I like cooking and making different dishes lol. Cooking for myself or for friends and family is a great interest of mine. I love travelling and discovering new eating cultures. I’d be severly bummed out by the thought of having to eat what is essentially kibble the rest of my life.
It should still be a choice, kind of like how you can buy powdered milk that’s way cheaper, keeps forever, and reconstitutes into the same* thing, but literally nobody ever buys it in favor of just getting a jug from the store.

the process of powderizing it involves heat, so the milk cooks ever so slightly

I think we actually figured out there is NOT a singular “ideal diet” because different people have different needs

A billion-dollar industry that would like to stay that way and of course the :up-yours-woke-moralists:

Because psychological needs are valid :p
