Day Seven, on vacation

We drove down to Texas a day or so ago, using Soylent to replace fast food stops during travel and most (sometimes all) of our meals while here so far. As you can imagine, this saves a fair amount of money! Whiiiiiiich I promptly spent on a new swimsuit from Victoria's Secret. Ha! Saving and reallocating money is another fantastic benefit of this weird drink of the future! So, I get a completely balanced, 100% good for me meal instead of a burger and fries and I get to go shopping! How is this not brilliant??

Irksome (if you can even call it that) things we've encountered so far when traveling with Soylent are ...

• Keeping it cool, which you must do to avoid build-up of pressure (and explosion) in it's air-tight container. Also, it just tastes best cold. We are using a mini cooler and thermoses. Easy.
• Drinking in the car. I like my soylent thick, like a milkshake, but just as a clump of it makes it's way to my mouth, we usually hit a bump and it slams into my face. Getting this stuff on your clothes is no big deal, but you have to rinse it under a faucet to get it all out, rather than just dabbing it up with a napkin. Easily solvable, though. Just get a straw!

Yeah. That's about it.

In other news, we went to lunch with a friend yesterday and both ordered burgers and fries. Several hours later, I began to feel nauseous and developed a headache. It would seem that switching back and forth between crap and perfect nutrition could result in some outraged responses from your body. Not surprising, right? Then again, it may have had something to do with the front flips I did on a trampoline 2-3 hours after eating! Greg didn't experience any trouble after his burger, so obviously I'll have to conduct more experiments before coming to a conclusion. My digestive system is more sensitive than his, but who knows!
