Scientifically, will 'Soylent' ever be as good as milk, yogurt, fruit or soup? I don't think so.

- allemagne 10y agoWell, you can survive on Soylent alone, but I'm fairly certain you couldn't survive on milk alone.
- beagle3 10y agoActually .... babies survive on milk alone, in rare cases for 3 or 4 years. Cow babies survive on cow milk. While it isn't clear (to me) that humans can survive solely on cow milk (pasteurized milk at that, which means many vitamins, minerals and immune related ingredients are gone), but it is not unthinkable. There is another class of food, in addition to milk, that is able to completely support life: eggs. Proof: Live thing comes out of egg without any additional nutrition. Whether it is enough to completely support human life, is, again, unclear - but the answer might very well be "yes".
