You're missing my point. Yea, you could take the time to choose the right formula, find all the right ingredients, buy them, measure the right amounts, mix them

You're missing my point. Yea, you could take the time to choose the right formula, find all the right ingredients, buy them, measure the right amounts, mix them, remember to buy more of each when they run out, etc. OR you could just have cases of it automatically shipped to your door each month. I agree with the "something less than the sum of its parts" sentiment for the original Soylent, but Soylent 2.0 is vastly better, and I hear Coffiest is actually good tasting.
