As part of a space experiment in 1965, twenty four men volunteered to be fed nothing but synthetic food: food made from pure chemicals for nineteen weeks. I should say that that twenty four men started, but only fifteen finished. No, the other nine didn't starve to death. They dropped out of the experiment, which proved quite successful from a medical point of view and everyone who finished was perfectly healthy. It had more to do with the fact that the "food" wasn't even as solid a meal as a pill.

It was syrup; looked like weak corn syrup and tasted like weak corn syrup.

No wonder they had to be locked up for the duration of the experiment. On one unguarded window the words were written "Hello, cheeseburger!"
