Eating as a life support measure? This is how Rob Rhinehart sees his daily meals. So he wants to put an end to the meal with the finished powder Soylent.

What am I eating today? If you are annoyed by the constant thought of what food is today, we have just the thing for you: Soylent . A ready-made powder that is mixed with water to replace whole meals.

Soylent is not just any powder. Soylent is a Food & Drug Administration approved food that provides you with all the nutrients you need for a healthy diet - invented by Rob Rhinehart, a 25-year-old electrical engineer. So in the future, are we just going to meet a Soylent instead of a currywurst fries? Not quite. The idea: another.

Rhinehart does not want to turn off the meals we eat during our free time, but the meals that keep us from working . More specifically: breakfast, lunch and dinner, Monday to Friday, five days a week.

A cup of Soylent in front of the PC or between two conferences - the idea of ​​the 25-year-old American sounds strange. His ideal: to concentrate fully on the work, then say goodbye to work and the weekend earlier. Getting used to - similar to the taste. Not the enjoyment, but the function is at Soylent in the foreground.

Biologist Professor Susanne Klaus reveals to the news magazine EXPRESS: " To promote a powder as an ideal food, I consider questionable ". Who now and then grab the threadbare powder, but have nothing to fear.

What's up with the name? The idea behind it is at least as crazy as the product itself. Soylent is a food resource of Harry Harrison's science fiction novel "Make Room! Make Room! " A resource made from human flesh, and thus a parallel that does not boast.
