AFAIK there is nothing in Soylent that is not regularly consumed by lots of humans already. Instead, the primary concern is its use as a total food replacement

AFAIK there is nothing in Soylent that is not regularly consumed by lots of humans already. Instead, the primary concern is its use as a total food replacement, since it's unclear what sort of dietary deficiencies may crop up ten years down the line.

- jpatokal 11y agoWhere do you see Soylent marketing itself as "completely safe"? Their website is pretty nuanced.
- ekianjo 11y agoI quoted this precise article where Soylent published their answer to the health concerns in this actual wording.
- DanBC 11y agoThe kickstarter campaign where they described Soylent not just as perfectly safe, but perfectly safe for anyone; and where they say it puts you in perfect health; and where they claim rigorous testing. This iterative approach to regulatory compliance - ignore everything until a regulator points out a problem - should be worrying when you're talking about food.
