Yeah, the "put your leftovers in the fridge" part is really impossibly difficult. Guess we all have to eat bland nutrient goo now.

That's not sufficient to prevent food poisoning from rice. Cold rice is a leading cause of food poisoning. Telling people that rice can be kept for several days is dangerous. > Guess we all have to eat bland nutrient goo now. I fucking hate Soylent (the prodct and the company). My hatred for Soylent doesn't make it okay for Cryoshon to give dangerous advice.

Except it isn't dangerous advice. The site you link is an extension of British paranoia over the safety of leftover rice. I don't know where it comes from, but I can find no sources that are not British or Australian that claims leftover rice is dangerous a mere day after being refrigerated, assuming it is cooled properly in the first place.

I personally make gumbo, jambalaya, and dirty rice days ahead of time. I have never been sickened by it. I personally know of no one who has been sickened by leftover rice that was stored properly. The few American sources that address the subject directly indicate three days is perfectly fine. That said, leftover rice safety is a non-issue over here. I have no idea why it is in Blighty.

Ensure is not a proper meal replacement.

Yes it is. This information is easy to find in a simple web search. http://abbottnutrition.com/brands/abbott-brands http://abbottnutrition.com/brands/ensure > The Ensure family of products provides active adults with a source of nutrition that can help them focus on specific nutritional goals. Such goals include helping to rebuild muscle and strength naturally lost over time, supporting digestive tract health and the…

It is not meant to be a meal replacement for long term.
