Any alternatives for Canadians?
A lot of people don't like it and sell their stuff on eBay so you could try there.

#62I tried soylent for a while and found the experience fairly unpleasant. I switched to http://www.mealsquares.com/ instead. Warmed up, they taste like a dense brownie. The thinking detailed on their website and the level of care that clearly went into choosing a safe recipe gives me a lot more confidence than soylent did eg > First, there's nothing especially risky or unusual in MealSquares; they're made from a broad…
I tried out MealSquares when they were first available. Ate three of them before I ended up throwing the rest of the package in the trash. Really unappetizing and inedible, unless they've changed the recipe since then.

#65This is very interesting and strange to me. Cooking and eating tasty and new food in the company of other people is a major source of enjoyment in my life. I understand that most people may not enjoy cooking, but surely most people enjoy eating tasty food. Why would you give that up for Soylent?
The dumb thing is it's really not hard to do fine nutritionally without cooking. You don't need to buy a weird powder, or whatever. Buy a case of canned, pasteurized orange juice and a lot of cheddar cheese. You're gonna be fine eating nothing but that for at least a couple months before you have a problem. There are dozens of easy combinations of food. This is simply not a hard problem that calls for a complicated n…
Uhh... "orange juice and a lot of cheddar cheese" for "at least a couple months" is not doing "fine nutritionally".
You probably won't die...

#67I find it a bit frightening that some of these products are marketed as a way to work even more. Makes me wonder how many stadium pals are owned by the same type of people.
Funny side note; I was trying to remember what the stadium pal was called, based on vague recollections from years before, so I googled "catheter for recreation".
Do not google that. It was a weird, dark hole.

I would be worried of buying food secondhand. Nobody can prove for sure that I'm buying Soylent powder and not ... powdered caffeine mixed with whey and anthrax
You buy food second hand every time you shop at a grocery store.
A kid in the store room replacing your pancake powder with caffeine, whey and anthrax is about as likely as someone selling a box of Soylent on eBay.
