If you're one of the Covidiots who believe that COVID-19 is "just the flu",

ReplyDeleteIt's soylent, not soylent green. Soy is a major ingredient.
It's not trying to be the next mass market success. One person wondered whether he could get a day's food value (nutrients, calories, protein, whatever), looked it up, bought a blender, and got to work.
