The author seems to miss a critical part of why Soylent is a good options for many people; it is all the benefits of a low-work food product that strives not to be one that makes you fat or otherwise unhealthy. If anything, the industrial food system let down a lot of people who liked the 'easy' but didn't like the 'loaded with sugar' part. Also, of course, if you don't like it don't buy it.
"When you look at the recent arc of food culture, the most significant food movement is the purposeful pushback against the postwar industrial food system, a system that was the food futurism of its day. This industry brought us preservatives, Wonder Bread, Tang, and microwavable frozen TV dinners. It lowered the price of food tremendously and increased convenience in innumerable ways, but it also made us fatter and sicker, and robbed our meals of their original flavors,replacing them with addictive but unhealthy substances."
