Is a pill-based diet the future of food?

[Pengwuino]

So what do you think is the best part about eating food.

Which leads to the question, if they turned food into a pill that you just swallowed for all your nutritional and "hunger" needs, would you switch to it?

NOOO! I ACCIDENTALLY VOTED IN THE WRONG BOX! It wasn't clicking the first option, so i clicked the second to see if it would work, and then it did so i clicked the first again and hit submit and it posted the second

i don't eat to survive! I eat for the pleaure of it!

Let's see. Eat some pill with no taste, or eat a meal and enjoy it. I think this is pretty clear imo.

I would take the pill, as long as I felt full after eating it. I think having to go down to the dining hall is such a waste of time, just like sleeping. I can not stand how much time I waste sleeping.

Food doesn't exist. It's all an illusion in your mind.

I would only use the pills if there were lots of them and they tasted like M&M's.

I just returned from an expensive steakhouse :!)
Nobody goes and spends 25 dollars a person for survival only

It was so good

I wish I had enough money to go there more often :(

If they started making food pills I would not eat them for 2 reasons:
1. They're probably full of synthetic chemicals that are going to give me cancer.

2. The amount of each nutrient a person requires is dependant on a lot of things, each person is quite different, so how would I know I'm getting all my nutrients from this little pill that's been manufactured for millions of people.

Hypothetical question: If they did manufacture food pills, what would happen if you ate too much? Can you OD on nutrition?

Life is hard enough as it is. Without tasty food it would be completely unpalatable.

Very true. I know that when I have crammed for tests, like this past Thursday, after five hours of straight studying, it is nice to have a bite to eat while taking a break.

 

[hypatia]

Sometimes food is such a bother..I would use food pills if I could.
