#172Isn't it ironic [1], don't you think, that the vegan option has less carbs than the 'keto friendly' option? Tofu has less carbs than milk. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ironic_(song)
Milk is quite carby.

#174I think the issue here is the price. It’s definitely premium end and it makes it hard to justify as a regular spend for most people.

#175Is this just delivering a single Indian dish, in 3 variants, as a service (whatever that means in this context)? Currently available alternatives: 1) go to the nearest Indian restaurant and get it fresh when you need it. 2) use a food delivery service and get if from your favorite Indian restaurant 3) use a frozen variant found in many grocery stores. 4) cook yourself, which is not hard, but we can ignore it in this…
What I like about cooking my own Indian is how economical it is when making large batches. Just a few meals of this stuff costs the same as a couple weeks worth of the same if I were to make a month's worth batch. Freezing it really has no effect.

Saying Soylent tastes like food is a bit of a stretch.
Increasingly, it seems like Indian restaurants where I live are including southern Indian menu items with lentils, and I was happy to see something beyond the usual at first and then disappointed that stuff like dosa, medhu vada, etc, seemed pretty meh. And I've tried mulligatawny soup at one of those places and been really disappointed. But there is an Indian/Pakistani restaurant near me that has lentil soup I reall…

Indian food in the United States has, IMO, fallen into the same trap that Mexican food has. You get one or two items (e.g. chicken tikka masala or burritos) that represent a small region of the source country and that's about it. Or maybe you'll get some more unusual regional stuff and then half hearted burritos.
So what I'm saying is lentils can be anything you want, it's all in the execution.
Apropos of nothing there's a co-op restaurant in Sydney named "Lentils as Anything". It's named after an Australian band but hey it works here too ;)
