We have a lot of cereals made by Kellogs. They seem to have

Aren't you lucky. Most of them are expensive ****. I prefer whole
grain
meal not very far from the original grain. For some like
buckwheat, I
grind it myself. That way I know what's in the bowl.

Cereal is about the cheapest food you can get here, even the branded
stuff.


You're screwed. Special K from Amazon is $3.36 a pound. Hard red
spring
wheat berries are $0.75 a pound. Grind them to a coarse meal and make
porridge. You'd be missing out on all the soybean **** Kellogg
puts in
Special K.

The most important thing to me is that the food requires **** all
effort
to prepare.


Figures. Just get a few cases of Pop Tarts.

Why create food when it can be mass produced?


https://huel.com/

Huel is not available in the US so I haven't tried it. I do know that
pea protein powder isn't going to replace Pop Tarts anytime soon but
it's good for you. 100% vegan, so no cows are slaving away in the
odorous, cramped quarters of a commercial dairy operation for your
benefit.

Should you try it, please give us a report.


Is this meant to replace all food? If so, does it come in many
flavours? Or I'd get bored.


I don't know if it preceded Soylent or followed, but it supposedly has a
complete nutritional profile.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soylent_(meal_replacement)

Before it became a product, Soylent was an experiment by a software jock
who thought eating was a waste of time. Both come in several flavors.
That could be a problem. I've found that some of the flavored whey
protein powders can get old fast. Bland is good because you can doctor
them up with cinnamon, cardamon, cocoa powder, and so forth.
