Would you eat a meal comprised entirely of compressed food cubes?

that's exactly what cheap deli meat is and I love that. I also enjoy spam.
>>
if it was cheap yes
>>
>>22045391
what the other guy said
if it was cheat, nutritious, clean and properly bio-available (whole dark grains, no-additive red meat, no sugar or artificial sweeteners), etc.
I'd expect about 200-250 calories each. I do intermittent fasting, so I only eat from 12 to 8. I'd eat about 10 of them if they were 200 calories each during that time window. That generally covers my TDEE plus the extra I burn at work or the gym. Weekends I'd probably just fast a whole day and have nothing.
>>
>>22045391
No I actually enjoy cooking and eating too
>>
>>22045391
Maybe, if it was cheaper than normal food.
>>
>>22045391
If it was cheap, yeah. I forgot what company makes those but I remember the prices being a total rip off. You're paying $20 for less than a pound of food.
>>
>>22045391
I would try it but if it didn’t blow me away with concentrated flavor I’d be disappointed

No, and no one else did either.
That's why they went out of business promptly after losing their startup money

Microplastics.
>>
>>22045391
Someone reviewed it here once. It was solidly alright.

I wouldn't for the price they were selling it at.

>>22046425
Micro plastics help you decompose slower

Im a macroplastics man myself

If I remember right that cube food thing failed pretty hard.

I think they were just doing it for the kickstarter bux.

>>22046947
Can you explain what you think the purpose of Kickstarter is?

>>22046948
I think of a dumb idea and get to rip off random people while marketing an idea no sane investor would ever invest in?
>>
>>22045391
You'd never get enough calories.
A food cube like that is at most ~225 calories.
And most likely much less.
>>
>>22046998
>you'd never get enough calories, a single grain of rice is less than a calorie
>>
>>22045391
Every product aiming to replace the normal way to eat is destined to fail.
Eating for humans is more than just pure nutrient intake like a battery
>BEEP BOOP energy deficiency detected! Energy portion ingested! Nutrients deployed!
You can see it at the fact how when someone is on a monotonous diet even if in terms of calories sufficient soon all thoughts start circling about food.
We have a fine tuned system of receptors in out mouth and nose to analyze the components by taste and things like fattiness etc. And that system wants ACTION! Not tasting anything over time drives people insane.
That's why real meals will never be replaceable, you may substitute one meal or the other with a drink. but the next time available it will be a real one again.

I had a dream about that once. It was a big hit but super gimmicky.

Food cubes are history. Food tesseracts are where it's at now.

Of course. In concept it's basically pringles or spam,
>mash together a blob of this food type

Observant readers will note that
>Pringles and spam are popular because they're tasty and really fucking cheap, compared to their real-er cousins
And this is where most of these alt-foods suffer, because they're never just trying to make cheap tasty caloric food blobs, rather than cater to the "too much money" anxious professional managerial class who wants a snack before the "not-enough-food-on-its-own" doordash arrives.
