The magical food pill

[Indrid Cold]

Basically just a thought that crossed my mind..

Imagine that there was some kind of magic pill, and if you swalloed it your hunger would be 100% satisfied, your body would get all kinds of nutricients needed from food, and it would leave whatever taste you wanted in your mouth.

Would you be happy to just eat these from then on instead of food? I think I wouldn't, the whole process of eating slowly etc is one major thing I like about eating.

I don't think there are any more options than "Yes" and "No" needed...

Clarification: The question is about whether you'd be willing to ONLY eat them from then on. If you'd like to use them sometimes and just eat normally at others, answer no.

I'd eat them, but not as a full substitute for food. More of a "I haven't got time for breakfast" type thing. So no, I wouldn't want to JUST eat them, but I would eat them.

Yeah for a quick fix, would prefer to actually eat if I was to be in the presence of a young lady.

this was predicted in the 60s for the year 2000!

i have thought about this before. i would definitely prefer to eat. i love food :yum:

[SuzyCreamcheese]

if it gave me the same feelings as food, then whats the difference?

[Knee High Stripy Socks]

Noo. I love eating, and cooking as well.

Would be good for feeding starving people though, it wouldn't take up much room on a plane to drop as aid.

Yeah, me too. Love the idea of food too much - the cooking, the eating, the different textures and tastes. I'd miss that.

[pill 'ed]

Yeah I'd eat them if I was in a MAJOR rush to get somewhere and I didn't have time to eat but knew I'd be starving later if I didn't.....but I'd only eat them in extreme circumstances.....Food is way too good to give up, the look, the smell.....the texture, just everything about it.....nah I'd NEVER replace real food with some crappy pill

[Sofie]

I'd only have it if I was hungry and was in a rush.

[sugar_mouse]

Yes, as a subsitute say I woke up late and needed to get to work fast, and couldn't really drive with a bowl of cereal.

You sure you didn't just watch Charlie and the chocolate factory?

hehe, no. But I did remember reading about a pill like that (or similar) somewhere, it could have been Charlie. I just wondered about how people would prefer it.

You picked the wrong choice then. ;)
