They have been making and supplying them for many years, but they are not designed as a replacement for food, and do not contain 100% of known essential nutrients. Recommending something that we absolutely know for certain is not complete because you have an irrational hate-boner for soylent is absurd. Your claims about soylent are false by the way, which really doesn't help your case at all.

> but they are not designed as a replacement for food, and do not contain 100% of known essential nutrients. This is wrong. I'm not sure what products you're talking about. But there are products that are designed to be used as a sole source of nutrition. > Recommending something that we absolutely know for certain is not complete because you have an irrational hate-boner for soylent is absurd. > Your claims about soylent are false by the way, which really doesn't help your case at all. Feel free to rebut anything I've said with links. Soylent have no dieticians on staff, or anyone with any nutrition qualifications. So far all product has been produced in their kitchen. Several mistakes in formulation have been made. Errors in mixing (not taking fineness of powers into account, for example) have been shown.

      Why do you think they would list every single employee and contractor in their funding campaign? Why do you think I know their names? They say those people exist, there is no reason to believe otherwise, you contradict them with no evidence. http://www.vice.com/en_uk/read/rob-rhinehart-interview-soylent-never-eat-again http://www.vice.com/en_uk/read/rob-rhinehart-interview-soyle...

        So there are no dietitians listed anywhere, in any form, but you feel there must be a secret dietitian somewhere because the Soylent boys are such swells?

        > Why do you think they would list every single employee When you're selling a food replacement the dietitian isn't a minor role. It's a key role in the company. Combine that with the criticism that Soylent has received from registered dietitians and it's important to list some dietitian, if only to counter the negative results when I type [soylent dietitian] into a search engine. Reading the article you point me to I see ... > Once we got some professional dietitians and food scientists to collaborate with us it got much tastier and more filling ... which is a little bit different from your claim that dietitians are on staff. Maybe that's for the future, with Soylent v2 or v3, when they move to more individualisation? EDIT: Note that this is a blatant lie: > A lot of things will give you calories, but nothing so far has been designed to be something you can live off. There are no food replacements on the market. There are plenty of food replacement products, products that are designed for people to live off, in the market. It's not easy to get hold of them because other sellers have some sense of responsibility to their customers. > FDA-approved, Another lie!

        You do understand that just saying "that's a lie" over and over doesn't do anything right? You have absolutely no credibility, you have no evidence to support your claims, and you have an obvious emotional investment in trashing the project. If you want to convince other people to hate soylent with you, start using evidence.
