              To steer off the Friday the 13th baloney, how about world hunger for a change? What if there was a formula that could change all of that? Soylent, a nutrition product that has raised millions in seed fundings and pre-orders. It's a thick, light beige goop others describe as "bland" but CEO Rob Rhinehart says that is not meant for taste although they are still working it. This product is only for those who are looking for sustenance and nutrition in a meal. The meal substitute caters the young, healthy and broke being that it's only $3 per meal; the product could be a real money saver for people. Now, inspired by this motive, people all over the world are inspired to make their own Soylent recipe because of Rhinehart. Well I'd say we're close to solving the problem.
    I find it really fascinating that Rhinehart has created this amazing product. I feel that this can solve a lot of the world hunger issue and also the fact that poor families and people need to eat. Being that that is considerate of the problem hopefully no one will go hungry! Let's keep discovering :)

  2. This certainly is not a replacement for real foods, but it is a great idea for a substitute for those who really need it. Eating $3 nutrition filled goop is better than starving to death. - Nana Johnson p2
