Soylent seems to be under more scrutiny than any other food product I have ever seen. And at the same time, they are being more transparent, and showing more responsibility than any other food company I've seen.
We've all gotten new food at some point that had gone bad; and yet I assume most of those companies just kinda shrug it off as long as it's below a certain threshold.
- emmab 11y agoMost food products you do not eat as regularly so it is much less dangerous if there is a problem with them.

I'm also not sure how many people are actually consuming Soylent multiple times a day, but I would love to know the ratio of one-off orders to subscriptions. Might be interesting.
- Asbostos 11y agoYou don't eat meat and veges from the same farm and same processing plant every day. There's a wide variety. Also, food poisoning is always a risk when eating but it's not a life-shortening or baby-deforming kind of risk like, say mercury or lead overdose can be. Farmed products can have these contaminants but not usually consistently in every meal just because they're from varied sources.
