Except the "glop", as you put it, is nutritionally healthy and McDonalds is not.

- JacksonGariety 13y agoI will agree with this once I see a study showing consuming nothing but soylent has no effect on a person's happiness or mental well-being. Dehumanization is worse than diabetes.
- pbreit 13y agoThe reports so far are that it definitely has an impact on happiness and mental well-being: a positive one.
- ceejayoz 13y agoThe reports are mostly involved parties and early adopter types. Not only is there a lot of potential bias involved, but a proper study has all sorts of important elements - double-blindness, valid controls, ethics boards, etc.
- JacksonGariety 13y agoIt may have a positive impact on people who eat McDonalds every day, but what about people who eat real food?
- aianus 13y agoI don't think it's possible to do a double-blind study on Soylent. I guess you could blend up normal food and water it down to the same consistency but it would still taste like food so I don't think it would fool anyone.
- ceejayoz 13y agoIt should be possible to test against something like Ensure, I'd imagine.
- rosser 13y agoThe only thing we have indicating that this glop is healthy or nutritious is the word of the guy selling it. Ever heard of caveat emptor?
