Better discussion then I can espouse. Small summary, we don't necessarily know why whole foods > substitutes, but they are, ergo risk of non-intake of whole foods doesn't make sense for some anecdotes of a few startup folks.
- toomuchtodo 13y agoTake whole foods. Break them down. Gas chromatograph them. Match nutrient content artificially. I don't understand how that doesn't work.
- tripzilch 13y agoAnd if Soylent would actually have some experts on their team (be it bio, medical or nutritional, even a chemist!), they could actually do that, or be told why that wouldn't work. (I wonder for instance if gas chromatography would keep in tact the larger complex molecules, but I don't know much about it either)
