About the project</h3>
<p class="about-text">
I'm Alice. This website is part of my graduation project for the Master of Arts in Fine Art and Design: Experimental Publishing, in which I look at the way techno-solutionism is applied in food. More specifically, I'm deconstructing what I've identified
as the meal-replacement phenomenon, an ideology, culture, community and, ultimately, range of products that have emerged out of Silicon Valley in the past 5 years and have spread out across the Western world.
I'm Alice. This website is part of my graduation project for the Master of Arts in Fine Art and Design: Experimental Publishing, in which I question the role of technology in the development of innovative food. More specifically, I'm deconstructing what
I've identified as the meal-replacement phenomenon, an ideology, culture, community and, ultimately, range of products that have emerged out of Silicon Valley's techno-solutionism approach to problem solving in the past 5 years, and have
spread out across the Western world.
</p>
<p>
In my research, I've taken a closer look at the culture of quick-fixes for complex problems, and the role of meal replacements within societies which value the authoritative roles of tech innovators and their potential to impact the way humans live. I've
also engaged with the communities and individuals who find comfort and reassurance in these quick-fixes, while sometimes struggling with much deeper issues. I've embodied my research by the means of changing my diet, I've had countless
discussions with people both outraged and excited, and found that my research topic leaves no one untouched. Food is a highly personal, culturally charged and omnipresent topic in our lives, and challenging its fundamental role, as well as our values and priorities, is always bound to
trigger a reaction.
</p>
<p>The industry of meal replacements has grown alongside the communities around it. And here it became most obvious to me that nothing has a bigger impact on this range of products than the reviews generated by their consumers. Reviews are shared and discussed, requested and challenged on social platforms like YouTube, Instagram and Reddit, and the brands are not only listening, but chiming in. With my work, I want to contribute to this pool of reviews by adding another layer, by reviewing the culture itself and all of its implications. </p>

<h3>About the video</h3>
<p class="about-text">
"Is It Time to Eat, Or Is There No More Time to Eat" is a video essay that complements my research on meal replacements. As opposed to a broader look on the topic, the video essay focuses on the issue of solving problems through the means of techno-solutionism. It's built in the form of a vlog which responds to and exists in the same space as the sea of reviews, unboxing and tasting videos that exist within the culture of meal replacements.

mainly due to the discovery of fire, and subsequently cooking. By using less energy to hunt, and spending less time chewing raw food, the human brain had increasingly more space and time to develop new activities, ponder upon its surroundings

also represented a catalyst for humans to become social beings, which became more civilized and introspective while sitting around the cooking fire (Pollan, 2014). But while everybody benefited from the positive aspects of cooked food,

household means, one the one side, less housework reserved for women. It also means that corporations make great profits from providing the food we eat on a daily basis, which comes with several downfalls. Food made by a corporation
has many more chemical ingredients, that people very rarely use in their kitchens (Pollan, 2014). Eating packaged foods has increased the distance between what raw ingredients are and where they come from, and the food we actually
consume. “Food becomes just another commodity, an abstraction. And as soon as that happens we become easy prey for corporations selling synthetic versions of the real thing - what I call edible foodlike substances.”(Pollan, 2014).

Today, technology corporations provide more options. Rather than sharing the work equally, both the mental load and the actual chores can be automated, to some extent, through technological solutions. No longer framed explicitly as women’s work, but continuing
to be (de)valued as such, tasks such as cooking can be facilitated through various apps. From a tool of oppression directed at women, food becomes a task delegated to gig workers by startups and other corporations. Regarding food as

I've become interested in meal replacements because the concept of rejecting food as inefficient, and replacing it with an ultra-processed powder, intrigued me. The idea was alienating, so far removed
from my values and desires, so I had to look deeper. I ended up writing an essay, following the historical path and cultural patterns that led to the growth of a culture, an ideology, a community around the act of diminishing the importance of one
of the most basic human habits. In addition to the text, I translated my research into a video essay, which focuses on the techno-solutionist aspects of meal replacements: the problems they claim to address, and the solutions they put forward.

The main goal of these services it to convince users to separate important decisions from meaningless ones, and focus their time on paid labour. Deciding how to dress and what to eat can be outsourced to a corporation, which uses this as its selling point.
This form of convenient consumption limits the need to think about your choices, and becomes an automated form of comfort. Within this mindset, cooking is being presented as a chore rather than an activity that can be done as leisure.
Entrepreneurs are encouraged, or rather pressured, to find solutions to problems they are facing themselves, and monetize every aspect of life. For many, the problem they face is becoming an adult with too much money to spend, and
