I love good food as well, both cooking and going to restaurants. But Soylent is fast and convenient for light meals. If I had a big lunch late in the day I might have it for dinner. But I definitely prefer "real" food for dinner with my loved ones. As for the taste, I think it's fine, kind of oatmealy, not oversweetened. If you don't like the flavor, fine, but that's your taste and not other peoples'.
