Okay, but you have to be near a microwave for that.
I worked delivery for a long time and that meant 8-9-10 hour days in a truck all over back countries no where near drive thru, much less vegan friendly places . Soylent was a lifeline for me, caffeine, protein, doesn't need refrigeration. Haven't had Soylent in years but it was a lifeline in those days.
I get it, but my position is that we shouldn't be working as much as we are, we should have more free time to actually enjoy food, one of the simple pleasures in life. We need to admit this shit is dystopian and actually work on changing our world so we have more time for ourselves.
Some people don't get the same enjoyment out of eating than others. I'm honestly considering just starting to replace lunch with one of these meal replacements because I often find deciding on and making/eating food to be very draining sometimes.
