As someone who has, in the past, lived on Soylent for months at a time when it was most convenient, I can vouch for your feeling.

Every "normal" meal I had while living off Soylent tasted amazing and in between great tasting meals I didn't have to stress about food if I didn't want to.

To me, Soylent is gaining control over a thing that gives me great anxiety, that thing being food. And having that control allows me to put even more effort into cooking great meals when I want to.
