Ndiqale ukuva malunga neSoylent kwiminyaka embalwa eyadlulayo, xa ndifunda inqaku kwi New Yorkermalunga nezinto. Ifunyenwe ngamadoda amathathu asebenza kuqaliso lobuchwephesha, iSoylent-umgubo oqukethe zonke iikhalori, iivithamini, iiminerali, kunye nezinye izakhamzimba ofuna ukuhlala kuzo-bekufanele ukuba yimpendulo "yengxaki" yokutya okuthile. Endaweni yokufumana ixesha lokuthenga, ukupheka, ukutya, kunye nokucoca, unokusuka nje udibanise i-Soylent nekomityi yamanzi kwaye uqhubeke nobomi bakho.

Kwiinyanga ezimbalwa ezidlulileyo, ndadibana nomseki-ntsapho kunye neCMO yeSoylent, uDavid Rentein. Undazise kwi-Soylent 2.0, eyona nguqulelo intsha yeSoylent, isiselo esixelwe kwangaphambili esithathe nomsebenzi ongaphezulu wokukhulisa. Ngexesha lentlanganiso yethu, ndithathe isiselo sam sokuqala seSoylent 2.0. Ndothuka gqitha. Yayingcamla, kum, njengobisi lwealmond olujiyileyo. Inkampani yandithumelela iibhotile ezili-12, endizibeke phantsi kwedesika yam ndaza ndalibala. Kude kube ziiveki ezimbalwa ezidlulileyo, oko kukuthi, xa ndavolontiya ukuhlala kwiziselo iintsuku ezimbalwa kwaye ndibhala ngamava am.

IMithetho

Ndivumile ukuchitha iintsuku ezintathu-ukusuka ngoLwesine ukuya ngoMgqibelo-ndiphila ngeSoylent 2.0. Ndaye ndasela ii-ounces ezisi-8 zekofu ngosuku, kwaye kuzo zonke iintsuku ezintathu bendineDiet Coke (Ndiyazi, ndiyazi ukuba i-soda yokutya i-sneaking ingamosha ngokutya kwakho) kunye neemints ezimbalwa.

Ukucaca, iintsuku ezintathu ayisiyonyani ngokuthe ngqo. Ngapha koko, abantu baphila ixesha elide, ixesha elide kwi-Soylent yodwa. (Lo mfo uyenzile kangangeentsuku ezingama-30!) Ndandisazi ukuba kwakungaphezu koko kunokwenzeka. Ndandinomdla ngakumbi koko ukutya okungatyiwayo okuqinileyo kwakuza kundifundisa ngendlela enditya ngayo. Ndandinethemba lokuba iya kundiqhawula kwikhoboka leswekile. (Isilumkiso seSpoiler: Ayenzanga.)

Umqolomba

"Ukuphila ngokuzingca ayisiyiyo into esiyikhuthazayo," walumkisa uNicole Myers, umlawuli wezonxibelelwano eSoylent, xa ndanditsalela umnxeba ndibuza into endifanele ukuyazi ngaphambi kokutya kwam. Ngelixa kunokwenzeka, inkampani iyifoto yokwenyani yabantu abaninzi besebenzisa iSoylent ukubuyisela endaweni oko bakubiza njengokutya "okulahlwayo" -isaladi ye-bland oyifaka ngokungakhathali phambi kwekhompyuter, okanye iprotein yomhlathi ebangela ukuba ubambe phantsi ngenxa yokuba kufuneka utye ngoku kwaye ungabinalo ixesha lokufumana enye into. Endaweni yoko, sela ibhotile yokutya okunesondlo, uzalise iSoylent.

Oku ayikuko nokutya. Ewe ungalahla ubunzima kwi-Soylent, kodwa kuphela kuba yenza ukuba kube lula kakhulu ukujonga ukutya kwekhalori. Akukho nto ngokwemvelo yokunciphisa umzimba ngayo. Oko kwathiwa, ndilahlekelwe ziiponti ezimbalwa-mhlawumbi kuba bendithatha iikhalori ezimbalwa endizenzayo kusuku oluqhelekileyo kuba bendingadli ngokutya. (Sele ndizifumene.)

Izifundo Ezifundiweyo

Ngentsasa yosuku lwam lokuqala, ndandisoyika kodwa ndinemincili. Ndacinga ukuba ndingakwazi ukugqiba ezo ntsuku zintathu ngaphandle kwengxaki enkulu, yaye ndenza njalo. Ndisele ubuncinci iibhotile ezine ezineekhalori ezingama-400 Soylent ngemini, ndidla ngokusela nganye kwiiyure ezimbalwa, kuba ukuyityhafisa kundenze ndonwaba kancinci. Ngelixa ngamanye amaxesha bendisiva ngathi "ndinqwenela ukuyitya loo nto", andikaze ndaziva ndilambile; isiselo sizalise ngokumangalisayo. Ndabaleka yonke imihla (iikhilomitha ezine, iikhilomitha ezintathu, iikhilomitha enye), kwaye ndabaleka iikhilomitha ezili-9 ngeCawa, mhla ndaqhekeza "ukukhawuleza," kwaye ndaziva ndilungile ngexesha ngalinye. I-TMI, kodwa andizange ndikhuphe ngokupheleleyo iintsuku ezimbini kwezithathu ndisele i-Soylent. Ndibonisa ukuba ndingaseli manzi ngokwaneleyo nangona loo nto kukucinga kwam. (Sinokutya okuPhakamisayo okungama-30.)

Iinkcukacha ze-Nitty-gritty ecaleni, into endiyifumene inomdla ngokutya kwam oku-Soylent yayikukuzila ukutya "okwenyani" kutyhilwa malunga nolwalamano lwam nokutya kwam. Ukuqala kwinto yokuba ...

Ndiyathanda ukucinga ngokutya.

Ngexesha lam lokuqala kuphela leSoylent-kuphela, ndichithe iiyure ezimbalwa reddit.com/r/soylent, uluntu lwaseReddit lwabathandi beSoylent. Ndifumene abasebenzisi abambalwa ababonakala bejonga ukutya kunye nokutya njengenkathazo okanye ixesha lokufunxa.(Inqaku elisecaleni: Abanye abasebenzisi bakubiza ukutya okungekho Soylent "ukutya okungafunekiyo," okuhlekisayo.) Andihambelani naba bantu. Intliziyo yam ibamba ukutya.

Okothusayo, nangona kunjalo, eyona nto ndiyiphosileyo yayingekuko ukutya okanye ukutya (ukuthintela ukutya kwam ngaphambi kwexesha lokulala ngeSour Patch Kids, #realtalk). Ibiyi ukucinga malunga nokutya. Ithuku lam lokuqala xa ndandihleli edesikeni yam yayikukuzibuza ukuba ndingabusela ntoni UbumeItafile etyiwayo-de ndikhumbule, Yima, andenzi njalo namhlanje. NgoLwesihlanu, ndiye ndaya kwisidlo sangokuhlwa ukuya kubhiyozela usuku lokuzalwa komhlobo wam, kwaye bendikhumbula ukubanakho ukujonga imenyu kwangaphambili kwaye ndicinge ngento endiza kuyala yona.

Xa ndandisitya isidlo sangokuhlwa, nangona kunjalo, ekuphela kwamaxesha endandiziva ngathi ndilahlekile yayikuku (1) xa isonka eshushu (eshushu) sasiqala ukuziswa etafileni (2) xa abahlobo bam babehleli phantsi. Omabini la maxesha ivumba lalindenza ndifune ukutya-imizuzwana emihlanu. Emva koko, ndabuya ndasongela incoko nabahlobo bam kwaye ndalibala ukuba babemba (kukhangeleka okumangazayo kwaye kunuka) ngaphakathi ngelixa nditshisa ulwelo olungenantloko.

Bendisazi ukuba bendisebenzisa ukutya njengendlela yokuphelisa uxinzelelo okanye ukuzinika ikhefu lengqondo kusuku lomsebenzi. Kwi-Soylent, ndafunda ukuba ukucinga nje ngokutya kusebenza injongo efanayo kum. Xa oko kwasuswa kum, ndaye ndanemveliso ngakumbi-kodwa ndaphinda ndasilela isizathu sokuphefumla nokuphupha ngesidlo sangokuhlwa.

Ndifunde indlela yokukhumbula ngakumbi.

Ukusebenza Ubume, Ndiva okuninzi ngokutya okunengqondo. Ndandiyiqonda njengokuba, ngokusisiseko, yeka ukutya xa ungalambanga. Easy peasy.

Kuyavela, andizange ngokwenene-ngokweneneizamile. Kum, i-Soylent 2.0 ayikungcamli kakubi kwaphela. Kodwa ayilunganga, okanye into endiyinqwenelayo. Kwakungekho sizathu sokuyisela ngaphandle kwengqondo; Ndayichola ibhotile qha xa ndiziva ndilambile. Ndothuswa kukuzibamba ndizibuza, Yindlala le?, njengolunye uhlobo lwasemzini. Bendingazi ukuba inzima kakhulu!

Emva kweentsuku ezintathu, ndaziva ndibambisene ngakumbi nokulamba komzimba wam. Ndonwabile ukuba ngoku ndiyakwazi ukukhulula ezo ntlungu ngokutya okwenyani, kodwa ndibeka ityala ngokutya okungafunekiyo ngokundifundisa ukuba zinjani kwasekuqaleni. (Psst ... Indlala encinci inokuba sempilweni.)

Ndikhumbula ukuziva ndihluthi.

Andizange ndilambe, kodwa andizange ndizive ndonwabe kakhulu. Ndiyathanda ukuziva ugcwele. Kwi-Reddit.com/r/soylent, abasebenzisi bacebisa ukuba batye amanzi ukuze bafumane "imvakalelo epheleleyo," ekwayiloo ngcebiso inye uhlala ufumana xa usitya. Kwaye kuyasebenza.

Ndikhumbula ukutya okumibalabala.

Uyazi ukuba uziva uziva emva kokuntywila ijusi eluhlaza okanye ismoothie? Ndiziva ngathi ndiqaqambile kwaye ndinamandla, ngokungathi ndingaziva ii-antioxidants kunye nezakha mzimba zibaleka ngemithambo yam. Ndicinga ukuba sisiphumo se-placebo-kodwa andikhathali, ndiyayithanda. I-Soylent imhlophe-mhlophe. Ukuyisela akuzange kundenze ndizive ndikhazimla. (Ingaba ukutya okumhlophe akunasondlo?)

Ukutya kuyimvakalelo.

Ndiyazi, duh. Kodwa ndandingazilungiselelanga iimpendulo endazifumanayo xa ndandicacisa iprojekthi yam kwabanye abantu. Abahlobo bam babefana, "Nokuba yeyiphi na into engaqhelekanga," emva koko waxolisa izihlandlo ezizigidi ngokulibala kwaye wandinika iqhekeza lesonka. (Bathande.) Kodwa ngokokubona kwam, abantu endandingabazi babengamkeli kakuhle. Ndaxelelwa izihlandlo ezininzi ukuba ukutya akunampilo. Ukuba kufuneka kubekho isoya kakhulu. Ukuba umzimba womntu wenzelwe ukutya "ukutya okwenene." Umxholwana endiwuvileyo uthi, "Mna soze ndiyenze loo nto!"

Kwaye uyazi ntoni? Ndiyayifumana. Ndiyakucaphukela ukuva umntu ethetha malunga nokuba ukuphuma kubisi kusicoca njani isikhumba sakhe, kuba ndiyayithanda i-ayiskhrim kakhulu kangangokuba ingcinga yokuyincama indenza ndifune ukukhala. Uluvo lokuba ngenye imini ndinokuphuhlisa ukunganyangeki okunzulu kwe-gluten kubetha uloyiko entliziyweni yam. Sonke sine-hang-ups malunga nokutya, kwaye oko kunokwenza kube lula ukubona ukuba abanye abantu batya ntoni njengohlaselo kwinto si ukutya. Kodwa imvakalelo endayifumanayo xa umntu wayendifundisa malunga nemfuneko yokutya okuqinileyo yayisisikhumbuzo sokuyiphutha xa kuziwa kwizinto ezikumacwecwe abanye abantu.

Amanqaku okugqibela: Imisebenzi yeSoylent

Ndacinga ukuba ekupheleni kweentsuku ezintathu, ndiza kuziva ndidiniwe kuSoylent kwaye ndinqwenela ukutya kokwenyani. Kodwa ndiziva ndingathathi hlangothi kuyo ngoku njengoko ndenzayo xa ndiqala. Isidlo sam sokuqala emva kweSoylent (iqhekeza elinye lebhotile yamandongomane kunye neqhekeza elinye le-avocado) yayilungile, kodwa ingagqithanga.

Ndineebhotile ezininzi ezishiyekileyo, kwaye ngelixa ndicinga ukuzisebenzisa endaweni yokuthenga isidlo sasemini ngeentsuku endilibaleyo ukuzifaka engxoweni emdaka, ngekhe ndibeke endaweni yokutya kwam kwesiqhelo nangaliphi na ixesha kungekudala. Ndifumana oko kuthetha ukuthini iSoylent malunga nokutya "okulahlayo", kwaye ngaphandle kwamathandabuzo, ukuba isidlo sakho "ngokukhawuleza" siyinto evela kwindawo yokutya okukhawulezayo, i-Soylent iya kwenza enye indlela emangalisayo. Kodwa ndizama ukunamathela kukutya okucocekileyo nangona kunjalo (gcina i-Sour Patch Kids kunye ne-Diet Coke ngamanye amaxesha). Kwaye xa ndibamba isaladi yam yesiqhelo ngexesha lesidlo sasemini yemifuno, iitumato, iinkukhu, inkukhu okanye isalmon, kunye neqanda kwibhotile yeSoylent ... Akukho khuphiswano.

Ngapha koko, ngaphandle kwezitya ze-smoothie, iijusi eziluhlaza, kunye neesaladi, ukutya kwam kwe-Instagram kwakuqala ukukruqula kakhulu. Buyela kula #eeeeeats life, nceda. (Jonga ezi Akhawunti ze-Instagram ze-Foodie ezingama-20 omele uzilandele.)
