I agree with you, but with a mass produced product we can expect low costs, so this would be really helpful in poor countries where starvation is common. If Soylent becomes cheaper than the previous products [1], it would definitely help more people. For people living in the US, I agree with you and I don't think it's a solution : If we take 2 different people, whose optimal intake is 2500 kcal, I'm pretty sure that among these 2500 kcal, one person would need x% of protein and y% of carbs, whereas the other person would need x2% and y2%, so how can Soylent fix this ? If we can figure out what the x,y,x2,y2 exact values are, then people could get their personalized Soylent, but we're far from it.
