Because humans don’t just ingest raw nutrients into their open mouths like robots. I could replace my grandma’s chicken soup with a scoop of protein powder, two tablespoons of olive oil, and a glass of salty water and get the same nutrients but I won’t do that bc that would be a disgusting and depressing meal. Also I don’t want to be the dipshit telling poor people to eat literal bacteria instead of meat. We’re not supposed to propose starvation rations even worse than crickets.

I didn't mean it like eating this in it's literal cultured form... But like...IN something.

Also, I'm probably not the best person to discuss it because I do treat food as "something necessary for me to survive" and don't really care in which form that nutrition comes in as long as it doesn't taste like shit. If I could eat Matrix Slop every meal of every day and be in perfect dietary health, I would. Bonus points if I could change the flavour but would be perfectly fine with the "tasty wheat" default flavour described in the film 😂

I consumed nothing but Soylent for over a year straight, soooooo.... Yeah. I don't give a single fuck about food. It's basically something I have to consume in order to continue living. At least that's how I see it.
