Yes, we have. But I have enough experiences of getting things (and failing at getting other things) across the border to know that it doesn't mean much in this case. Rosa Labs are going to have to deal with the various authorities and border agreements…

The gas may not be the same as being on vegies and other sources of fiber. I sometimes staple diet on dry cheerios and the whole oats from those will give me an absurd amount of gas. The oat flour in Soylent could do the same. I think People Chow switched…
Ichabod13 - Jun 11, 2014 3:43am

You can have whatever review you want. I just don't like you throwing away 56 meals worth of food, especially when there are so many people here that would happily take it off your hands.

SoylentSomeone - Jun 11, 2014 3:10am
Actually that's not a bad idea, might do that instead, this would of course require me to find out where one is, actually drive to it, probably have to explain what it is, and who knows if they would even take it.
