Soylent,
An substance created by an New York Based Software information Engineer is what many journalist and critics are calling "future food".
In essence after researching about Soylent things such as NASA space meals, or dry high sodium rations in emergency life rafts on ships at sea come to mind. And even memories of trying out already mass issued MRE's. But one thing that comes to mind on the topic of food replacement. Is apart from trying to solve a number societal issues, such as world food shortage and economic unavailability of food for many. Is potential military use.
Now Soylent itself like other food replacements that have been on the market for years already. Is essentially just that, a food replacement. It is a combination of basic nutrients the human body must have to survive and many people have already lived long periods of time up to months on a pure Soylent diet.
Other food replacers have similar results with others and many medical professionals claim as of now, other than the depression of not enjoying the enjoyment of solid food are considered without any serious healthy problems. Especially with dieters who stay properly hydrated.
Now what I am wondering , if this concoction was refined to hold more calories and help a heavily active Serviceman/ Woman maintain muscle mass and weight while enduring intense physical activity on a daily basis. Would this food replacement be a good supplement for military forces deployed in the field? Or even used on Submarines and naval vessels where storage space is limited?
Even use by high mobile units who operate either without access to traditional logistical means to get chow.
Now I mean this a food supplement for troops in an modern military, a substance that combat personal for instance can carry with them alone with water and be able to sustain them while under the dietal stress of field operations.
Maybe it can become lighter than traditional MRE's? Maybe it can be refined to provide the absolute critical nutrient requirements of military personnel?
Thoughts on the matter? And could this be the future of Armed Conflict for as of today such as in Napoleon's an army on an empty stomach is doomed.
-Yo.
