Proof that you can get almost complete nutrition from a rice and beans based diet at a much lower cost than soylent.
Eliminate the protein powder and it's $1.35/day, but then the protein is a little low.
Eliminating the rice and using only beans makes a few of the micronutrient supplements unnecessary, but who eats only beans?
The weights given for the rice and beans are for the cooked versions. You have to buy them dry and cook them in water; I gave a rough estimate as to how much cooked product would result from the dry packages.
Also, the kale would definitely go bad before you use all of it, though I suppose you could just freeze it.
