Solid, Liquid, Gas

Liquid meals serve a pseudo-medical purpose: to provide nourishment to people who cannot tolerate solid food.  Energy drinks and gels (aka Nutrient Goo) fill a need for endurance athletes.  But in 2013, Soylent was introduced and marketed to people who are simply too busy to prepare and chew food.

As we transition from consumption of solids to liquids, I wonder how long it will be before a "Nutrient Gas " will allow people to breath in their meals. Being already in a gaseous state, will these "meals" facilitate our body's need to fart?
