There was a video about this somewhere.

Basically the Dutch never really developed a “cuisine” and they don’t have one. They don’t even give free meals at school, they care that little about food.

They’re mostly just a “I eat for sustenance” culture who loves snacking instead of actual meals.

The Dutch people I know are fully content just eating bread for every meal.

Am I secretly Dutch?

If they ever invent a pill that I could take for perfect nutrition instead of food, I'd happily do it.

Not a pill, but things like Soylent exist

You can't live on it or you'll walk around dribbling out diarrhea all the time.

Ah, I haven't actually tried it lol.

I have and believe it or not, you end up with pretty perfect poops. It solidifies in your gut.

I'd imagine if it promises to deliver 100% of what your body needs it incudes a decent amount of fiber

Sure if you go 100% soylent without ramping. Any major diet change usually ends up with diarrhea. Typically your body adjusts. Its the same tired trope when people complain about diarrhea from cuisuine they rarely eat.

I've never done it but know multiple people who have lived off soylent(or alternatives) for long periods of time.

I think this is how my wife assumes I eat when left to my own devices.

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 hours ago

I totally would if it actually gave enough nutrition to live healthily off of. Having to eat is an annoyance.

[–] Olhonestjim@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago

Now with flavor!

I thought they all ate they same sandwich every day for lunch? Like all the kids already have that sandwhich with them when they come in to school, no need for free lunches.

Dont get me wrong this was a clickbait article and I am probably misremembering the country anyway.
