What a dull article. The entire piece can be summed up in one paragraph:<p>>I normally detest anything to do with Silicon Valley, but when I first heard about Soylent, several years ago, I was intrigued. I hate cooking and I am a sucker for lifehacks. I thought Soylent might change my life. So I bought 24 bottles of the stuff. I took one sip and retched. Reader, it tasted like nostril. Disappointed, I put the remaining 23 bottles in a cupboard and forgot about them. Until I got a bottle out to remind myself what it tasted like and inadvertently poisoned myself.<p>She thought Soylent might change her life, but was ultimately disappointed by the flavour. How does that make it 'everything that's wrong with modern life'?
