    Are you telling me you've eaten a chicken noodle smoothie? When was the last time you had a New England Clam Smoothie? Come on.

    I know you're new here but when wocky wants to not eat a smoothie after his trip to blockbuster, you just let him, okay?

    I am with Wocky on this one. NEW POLL!

    BTW, I didn't make the vote publicly visible, Vivec, because I didn't actually think many people would vote drink. I made it for vindication. Had I known that people would vote drink, I of course would have made it public. These people deserve mockery and ridicule [Ender] as is their wont. [/Ender]

    Ah, and here you are latching on to a supposed misunderstanding to obfuscate the actual point which is that people regularly have smoothies as their primary nutrition.

    As it is, I said ingredients, not types of soups. So vegetables, beans, grains; all of these things can be found in both soup and smoothies.

    Do you eat a smoothie with a spoon?

    Smoothies do not qualify as primary nourishment, they are supplemental.

    If you drink soup you're not actually having soup.

    So people don't have smoothies for breakfast. Got it. No one has ever gone to a smoothie shop and just gotten a smoothie. No, it comes with a sandwich, or as part of a whole meal. Got it. That makes sense.

    Also, soup is almost never the "primary nourishment". It's either a single course in a multi-course meal or served with a sandwich at lunch. Wocky is speaking nonsense.

    Make them yourself and they can be. I have a 1500 calorie smoothie for breakfast every morning consisting of ten ingredients.

    What people do is sorta irrelevant. What matters is the definition of the words "primary" and "nourishment".

    "Humans eat for primary nourishment... in which case they are not acting for primary nourishment in that period"

    Except that what people do is "sorta" the entire point of this conversation. Kindly see your way out.

    I've had smoothies as a pick-me-up after a workout, definitely not as a whole meal. People who eat smoothies at every meal, as opposed to breakfast, or lunch when they only have 15 minutes, are usually on some weird liquid diet.

    And I eat soup, I drink broth, and only when I'm sick.

    My point is not that people eat smoothies, my point is that wicky's reasoning is flawed and absurd, as usual.

    We say we eat soup because it is presented as a dish. That's it.

    I suppose that people drink ice cream, by his reasoning.

    Smoothies are incapable of acting for primary nourishment, as they do not fit the requirements of primary nourishment. The same applies to ice cream.

    As AFS1983 pointed out, people who drink (fixed that for her) smoothies at every meal are usually on a temporary liquid diet, which falls under the exception. People who drink a smoothie because they have time for nothing else are simply neglecting their primary nourishment.

    Some people consume alcohol for breakfast. This does not qualify alcohol as primary nourishment.

    If you wish to poke a hole in wocky's explanation, you could point out that humans eat for reasons other than primary nourishment, such as pleasure or compulsion.

    Some people eat things that are inorganic or otherwise mostly non-nutritional; this is a disorder called pica. They may eat pieces of metal; this does not qualify metal as primary nourishment, yet they eat them; they do not drink them. To be fair to wocky, I believe this would fall under a special exception.

    Candy is not eaten as primary nourishment, yet it is still eaten, and not drank. This is a hole in wocky's explanation.

    Of course I'm saddened by your disappointment with the thread, but I appreciate that you upheld the bovine theme of the OP, I gotta say.

    Thread's fine, it's the quadrupeds, chewing the cud over smoothies that are boring me to alcohol.

    Campbell's used to make soup that came in a container that looked like a thermos and people would heat it up and sip from it. Not sure if that still exists.

    I know, that's why I said you weren't going to eat it. Because you drink it.
