    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 😩

      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!
