This bears repeating, over and over and over again if necessary, in every HN thread related to Soylent: most people who purchase Soylent will not exclusively eat Soylent. They will instead supplement their diet with it for times when they don't want to be bothered to make a meal.
- freehunter 13y agoJaime from the Mythbusters does this; he explains it in an episode where they are testing fuel consumption of cars over a long distance and can't stop to eat. Adam brought snack foods, Jaime brought what he calls "444". 4 fruits, 4 vegetables, and 4 beans ground up in a blender for him to drink. He put his recipe in an email that someone posted to reddit at one point. Jaime claims it's healthy and full nutrition, but he only eats/drinks it when he can't be bothered to actually eat something.
