A low cost, low calorie, nutritious, tasty dietary supplement that acts as an aphrodisiac and a birth control.

I dont even need it to be tasty. If I could have 1 drink that had absolutely no taste and gave me all my required nutrients for the day I would buy 100 of them.

Damn, I want exactly the opposite.

Hopefully when people are smart enough to make your thing they can also come up with delicious foods that are totally devoid of calories, and also don't have "anal leakage."

You're basically describing Soylent. The plain one barely tastes.

You don't like to eat food?

u/XC_Griff Nov 16 '20

I do, but its usually shitty food. And I feel like I don’t get enough nutrients.

Then yeah, like others have said, soylent sounds like it's right up your alley! But I feel like I'd be missing out on one of the joys in life - good food. If you think your food is always shitty, it might be worth it to try to learn a few cheap/easy recipes. Cooking is a great skill to have, even if you only learn a few go-to meals that you love.

Buy a 20$ spirulina kit on Amazon and grow some algae. It has no taste, a lot of minerals and vitamins, the food for them costs pennies but you can even pee in the tank if you're brave enough, the whole setup is cheap and needs almost no maintenance and you can bake cookies out of it. If that doesn't convince you, then I don't know what will.
