Someone just skimming the article may actually think this is some kind of health food. Why a food scientist has taken any time to discuss this I don't understand. (other than he is actually promoting it) You stated this was a popular drink at hackathons. This struck me as supporting the idea that the product is a good thing. These concerns would have been better directed at the original author. If you haven't seen the movie Soylent Green then you may not share my sentiments.
