How Soylent Works

This episode dives into Soylent, the meal replacement drink that promises to revolutionize how we eat by delivering complete nutrition in a convenient, efficient package. Josh and Chuck explore the origins of this beige beverage created by a tech entrepreneur who was tired of wasting time on food, trace how it went from a viral blog post to a booming business, and break down what's actually in the stuff—plus what's conspicuously missing. Along the way, they chat with colleagues about the taste, dig into what nutritionists think about living entirely on the stuff, and consider whether this space-age shake is the future of food or just a curious Silicon Valley trend that'll fade away.
