It’s an opinion article, which obviously has an axe to grind. The standards of journalism are, were, and ever will be different for opinion than for reporting.

It’s an opinion article, which obviously has an axe to grind. The standards of journalism are, were, and ever will be different for opinion than for reporting. The point of this article was to poke fun at the sometimes silly tech culture. Also, the comparison to Slimfast isn’t that egregious. I mean, Slimfast was always marketed as a way for busy people to conveniently replace meals with a “nutritious” substitute (according to some hand-waving standard of nutrition). Seems a lot like Soylent to me. The Guardian’s reporting is often excellent. Judging the paper on the perceived slights of an opinion piece is just misunderstanding how news works.
