My disabled mom has trouble cooking, and her fridge fills up with food on sale that eventually rots. This would save her money.

The time-poor Precariat (millennial) has been eating out more - trading $ for time. This would save them money.https://t.co/GwBIDEdCS6

I can cook. I'm privileged - I have no job so I can spend time on food.https://t.co/IPYr239PdE

120g whey powder, 6 packs of 'soylent' (Carnation Instant Breakfast), 4 eggs, 2c water. All the oatmeal. Bake 325 until eggs won't kill you.

When I see shitting on spending habits of the well off - What I translate it into in my head is people upset about their circumstances.

I very rarely see negative articles against soylent that stop and think about the situation. It's 90% kneejerk social class signaling to me.

Oh yeah. I did the math & saved my mom about $50 a month by buying her a keurig. She stopped wasting $$ burnt coffee by cooking by the pot.

If you're scratching head why Soylent has taken off, you're not paying attention. The crowd is sick of being at the whims of big grocery.

It amazes me when others wonder why Amazon is moving to a grocery delivery? It's a growth market… They sell shovels.https://t.co/qDAUVSVwVU

UltimApe@ultimape• over 8 years ago

Remember: Amazon is a software / logistics company first - they're shifting to provide warehousing & delivery services… think AWS for store.

Pay attention to weak signals in aggregate. These are voices of those who are overlooked & crying for change, before the system breaks them.
