You know what's an irreversible waste of time, money and effort? Eating food you take pleasure in eating. I mean, wouldn't you rather just ingest a tasteless form of sustenance for the rest of your life and never have to go through that tedious rigmarole of opening and eating a pre-made sandwich or enjoying a huge hungover fry-up ever again? Rob Rhinehart – a 24-year-old software engineer from Atlanta and, presumably, an impossibly busy man – thinks so.

Rob found himself resenting the inordinate amount time it takes to fry an egg in the morning and decided something had to be done. Simplifying food as "nutrients required by the body to function" (which sounds totally bulimic, I know, but I promise it's not), Rob has come up with an odourless, beige cocktail that he calls Soylent.

I wasn't sure if he was trolling at first, because "soylent" is the name of a wafer made out of human flesh and fed to the overpopulated masses in the seminal 1973 sci-fi film Soylent Green, but then I read the extensive post on Rob's blog about how he came to make the stuff and started to believe him. Soylent contains all of the nutritive components of a balanced diet, but with just a third of the calories and none of the toxins or cancer-causing stuff you'd usually find waiting to kill you in your lunch. Despite the fact it looks a bit like vomit, Soylent supposedly has the potential to change the entire world's relationship with food, so I spoke to Rob to find out how.

Supposedly humans taste like pork. But there are some differences. The blood is really the big flavour adder, plus the meat becomes nauseatingly greasy and smelly when you cook it. So, definitely eat humans raw.

Man I hate looking for a job. I miss the days when I was high 24/7 outside of work and made a good living and was still fun at parties.... :(

For years I kidded myself that the reason that I don't get bit by mosquitoes was because of good karma because I let spiders out of my house/work instead of killing them like everyone else. I'm sure the real reason is that they land on my skin thinking I'm food, they sniff around a bit, and then they realize that the blood inside me is just as dead as my soul.

I don't get bit by mosquitoes either. I joke that it's because my blood is far too toxic, but that might not be far from the truth. 2, 4, 5T stays in the blood for life, it seems, and bonds to DNA.
