“Let go, or be dragged.”

Ain’t that the truth.

Soylent solution: Will this distasteful but nutritionally complete food make your kitchen obsolete?

In her 1942 book on wartime gastronomy, How to Cook a Wolf, the great American food writer M.F.K. Fisher offered a recipe for “Sludge,” a boiled slurry of vegetables, grains and meat that will taste awful, but nourish for pennies a day.

“It is functional, really: a streamlined answer to the pressing problem of how to exist the best possible way for the least amount of money,” she wrote.

Seven decades later, a sort of Sludge 2.0 is going viral under the name Soylent. After the revolutions of organic, slow food and molecular gastronomy, its adherents are gleefully predicting the end of food, at least proper food.

With $2-million in pre-orders, and nearly that in venture capital, a young entrepreneur in California is set within weeks to ship the first batches of Soylent, a powdered drink marketed as a total food replacement for people, such as hard core computer programmers, for whom real food is a costly hassle, just as it was for wartime housewives.

I’m donning my Soylent Green neckerchief in anticipation.

“How many thousands and thousands of children have developed childhood diseases because their idiot mothers saw Jenny McCarthy on Oprah or some other show and refused to get them vaccinated? We’ll never know. What IS known is the CDC literally called McCarthy “a menace to public health.””
