Strikes me as odd as to why some commenters can't understand the appeal of Soylent and similar food replacements.

Then again, I don't understand how some people still want to blame vaccines for autism even after as much evidence not showing a link and how the main source of the hysteria was proven to not only be false, but fabricated by someone trying to profit from creating the hysteria.

Anyway, Soylent is a less than ideal meal replacement - cooking your own fresh meals being ideal - but it serves a useful purpose. Like anything, do it in moderation and don't get caught up in the hype. If you do, that's your fault, it's not the fault of the marketers.

p.s. Cooking real food takes time, and sometimes either we don't have time for that or don't like to do that. Soylent ain't that bad, in moderation.
