I take offense to the high fat saag being portrayed by some fat bastard playing at an arcade machine while the other two images are of fit people doing healthy exercises. A high fat meal is key to getting energy for grueling tasks. This should be changed.
What benefit do you provide over the Indian place down the block with similar or even cheaper pricing? These prices are absurdly expensive even for us overpaid tech folk.
$12 per meal is "absurdly expensive"? I think it's comparable to eating out.

In my local asian grocery store, they stock a lot of vacuum packed Indian meals, all of which have nothing "dodgy" in the list of ingredients, and all of which are actually really good - they cost the equivelant of around $2.5 each.
My local Indian takeaway restaurants sell saag paneer for around $4 USD.
That’s your opinion, I personally think it tastes great and haven’t had issues drinking it over the past 4 years. Given that Soylent has continues to grow signals that other consumers agree (investors also agree given they’ve raised $50m led google ventures).
Also your product costs $12 per 500 cal (vs. $2.42 for 400cal for soylent) which is a huge selling point for people that drink soylent (it’s affordable, convenient and better than most fast food alternative)

I would definitely try this saag as a service(alas, I live in NYC), as a healthy alternative to food I already love eating. Meal replacements are definitely not covering that niche for me.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Absolutely, these are the exact reasons I started this. We plan to expand to more dishes as we scale, but for now, if you're in the Bay Area, I hope we can at least help liberate you from the monotony of Chipotle.
chipotle for indian / vegan/ vegetarian food is the holy grail

In terms of price, food is expensive to make (especially in the Bay Area), but as we scale we think we can leverage automation to bring the price down to $6, which is not as cheap as but in the same ballpark as Soylent.
This is awesome. Is this $12/meal for one portion, or is it two portions?
