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