I don't really have the time to participate in this thread in full, but I thought that I'd share this with you.

How I Stopped Eating Food : Mostly Harmless
Blog post with ingredients:
What’s In Soylent : Mostly Harmless
To someone like me, who's in pain eating about 50% of the times (although it's better now that I'm older), this would be perfect. Disregarding his claims of improved health it would still be perfect to me due to the simplicity.
Some selected quotes of interest from the first blog post:
Edit: It seems that I'll try this for a week this summer, hopefully it won't be a flop. If I don't change my mind (or die halfway) I'll post the blood test results from before and after.

I feel full after drinking a single glass of Soylent and while the smell of Mexican food from the street used to drive me crazy, now I am unaffected.
I feel like the six million dollar man. My physique has noticeably improved, my skin is clearer, my teeth whiter, my hair thicker and my dandruff gone.
Now I spend about 5 minutes in the evening preparing for the next day, and every meal takes a few seconds.
Here's from the second:Soylent costs me about $50/month
The proportions in Soylent are loosely based off the recommendations of the FDA, though I added a couple extras and changed a few based on my testing.
If you want to make Soylent for yourself, be very careful. We're not making pie here. It's a lot easier to overdose or underdose with the raw elemental form than it is with food.
So…I'll just ship you some of my batch. If you are willing to consume exclusively soylent, and get a CBC, chem panel, and lipid blood test before and after the week and share your results with me it's on the house.
