Absrtact: In modern society, there are few people who wear the same style of clothes every day. The most famous may be jobs and Zuckerberg, both of whom have their own iconic clothes in public appearances, and they say they wear the same T-shirts all year round.

In modern society, there are few people who wear the same style of clothes every day. The most famous may be jobs and Zuckerberg, both of whom have their own iconic clothes in public appearances, and they say they wear the same T-shirts all year round, saying it doesn't take time to decide what to wear every day. Put aside the public image to shape this reason, at first I did not quite understand Zuck said this reason, think of what you want to wear can spend how much time, also can change a brain, nothing bad ah.

I seem to understand recently. When you focus most of your energy on something that you think is important, you don't want to spend a lot of time thinking about what to wear today because there are so many things you need to think about. Even if you change your mind, you will choose other things to relax.

Dress So, eat? If you don't have to think about what to eat every day, what's the status? Soylent, the food-making exotic start-up company, may be making this lifestyle a popular market. Soylent want to change the way people eat, it according to the needs of the human body of various nutrients, in the way of science students to match all kinds of nutrients, the use of raw materials are standardized products, such as corn flour, whey protein or vitamin C tablets, can be directly from the supermarket or food store procurement. After a good match into a powder-like storage, to eat when adding water to stir evenly, a cup of the stomach, Chinese food solution.

Soylent's advocates are mostly lifehacker, and in their eyes, eating is just a way to get nutrients and energy, and the color and aroma and where to eat is attached, compared to decide what to eat, prepare food, and then spend time eating and cleaning the table, There are better things in life worth pursuing.

Lifehacker also has the trait of liking to have its own version. Soylent the official release of its own formula, while encouraging everyone to DIY out of the exclusive version to share. Want to lose weight, like vegetarian, believe in ketone body diet method, can find suitable Soylent.

In addition to providing a minimalist convenience food, Soylent has a bigger dream. Soylent now needs a variety of raw materials in fact still from the relatively inefficient traditional agriculture, not fundamentally solve the food problem. They hope to develop an algae that can produce sufficient nutrients directly as raw materials for Soylent. If successful, humans do not need to farm, directly in the pool to raise the algae, the food problem is solved.

This kind of thinking is very absurd, at the sight of the pit in front of countless, belong to the moon-like career. Soylent recently got a a16z 10 million dollar a round of financing, is a good start.
