Summary: A meal replacement called Soylent has all the vitamins, nutrients and calories the average adult needs for the day. Is it the perfect food for everyone? And could it be the solution to world hunger?
I thought the intro to this story was really interesting and caught my attention. I thought it was cool to see the man's motivation for drinking Soylent, even though I can't really understand why people would drink it if the taste isn't great. I liked how the narrator tried it herself to give a perspective from a "regular" person. I do think the narrator should have tried to use more inflection to make her narrations more interesting, but the information she used was great and she clearly researched the topic.
The introduction was catchy and grabbed my attention about Willy Wonka. I have never heard of Soylent and it was extremely interesting how this man can have his entire days' worth of calories fit in a brown bag. The narrator includes actualities throughout effectively to better describe Soylent's taste, nutritional benefit, and price point. The narrator provides that Soylent could potentially solve world hungry which definitely makes the audience ponder the possibility.
