Soylent People Are Green!

(you know, green, like they care about the environment)

I seem to remember something about some guy trying to develop a food replacement blend.  I didn't think much of it until I saw it on Ars, and checked out the blog.

"Suppose we had a default meal that was the nutritional equivalent of water: cheap, healthy, convenient and ubiquitous."

There is something in geek culture called "life hacking".  Just like you might hack software or hardware to scratch an itch, you can hack your body to make it a little better.

That's the approach here - the creator started with a personal project (simplify meals), and is now open sourcing it for everyone.  I think it will be interesting.
