Thoughtful critics should probably have the same things (or worse) to say about McDonalds & Friends as Soylent.
The science will come around in time. But the idea that this could eventually make nutrition available to people who wouldn't otherwise eat is amazing.
- jwoah12 13y agoI agree, although that's a strawman since the comments are attached to threads about Soylent. I'm sure there would be worse (different) things said on threads about fast food. I do very much hope that the science does come around because I completely agree that the potential for nutrition to reach people in need is exciting.
- hcarvalhoalves 13y agoNo one sells Big Macs as the only meal you'll ever need though, or even claim it's good for your health. The idea is sound, even though it's nothing new, and I make use of something similar (Ensure) daily. The critics of Soylent mainly criticize the outrageous claims made based on an inconclusive experiment of N=1, which is an amateur way of proposing solutions to health related issues to being with. Considering how they raised their money now, I won't touch it even if they get an FDA seal of approval.
