As far as debunks go the Business Insider article wasn't much of one sadly. Also calling this a diet doesn't seem that accurate to me in the way that most people think of diets (something transitory); it feels like they're using the term as a pejorative.
One of the things which has interested me about this whole affair since it was first posted was the reactions of people who put timeframes on their interest "I'll be interested to see what happens after a month", "...after three months", "...after a year", "...after a decade". I wonder at what point people are going to say "well ok, that's long enough, I've seen enough".
I think this is interesting from the point of view of someone who doesn't enjoy cooking most of the time and most of the stuff I cook when I'm in work mode is probably deficient nutritionally. I also think as a portable, storable and efficient food source the potential is pretty amazing, and I don't think the fact he's not a biochem or nutrition guy is an excuse to ignore the principle of what he's trying to do here. I would definitely like to see some more critical appraisal (and there certainly seems to be some in some of the comments here).
