So is baby formula not food?
- nsxwolf 13y agoBaby formula has rigorous research behind it.
- shurcooL 13y agoAnd Soylent or whatever it evolves into (or alternatives it inspires) will have research and evidence behind it once it goes big. You gotta start somewhere.
- ceejayoz 13y agoWill it? Plenty of pseudoscientific snake oil products get sold for decades without research and evidence behind it. Colon cleanses, homeopathy, etc.
- shurcooL 13y agoLook how much scrutiny Soylent is receiving already. It has the potential to fully or nearly fully replace food. This won't go unnoticed and untested for long. What the heck are snake oils? I've never heard of that.

- protomyth 13y agoBecause that is one of the products that if screwed up will end your company or you if you do it in China.
- toomuchtodo 13y agoDo Hot Pockets? Corn Dogs? Wait wait, I know. Twinkies!
- papsosouid 13y agoSo does soylent. You realize people already live entirely off of similar products right? You do understand feeding tubes are a thing right? What do you think goes into them? http://www.nestlenutritionstore.com/departments/therapeutic-nutrition/general-tube-feeding-nutrition/general-tube-feeding-nutrition?catpath=therapeutic.1.4 http://www.nestlenutritionstore.com/departments/therapeutic-...
- ceejayoz 13y agoBaby formula is actually a great example of hundreds of millions of dollars of R&D being unable to duplicate the health benefits of the real thing (in this case, breast milk).
