You're right, I misworded. I should have said that I see no functional advantage to Soylent as it's already been done by many others already, and with more scientific evidence.
I would be more trusting of their product if they had worked with an established medical nutrition supplier to rebrand and flavour an existing enteral feed, rather than hacking something up and minimally testing it.
- scrollaway 13y agoThere is hype because there is demand - demand that clearly isn't being fulfilled by other products since most people do not know about them. If anything, Soylent will serve to actually show that there is demand and push other products to be more readily available to the public. If that doesn't happen, well it's not really relevant in the first place. It's kinda like the earlier article on flying car prototypes being there but not affordable. They're not affordable because there's no demand, and there's no demand because they're not affordable. Someone needs to break the cycle, and when Tesla will break it, someone will not understand why the Tesla is suddenly so popular for something that has existed for years.
- quasque 13y agoGood points, I agree my complaint about the hype was rather misguided.
