Good enough. We can stop there. This is a discussion about Soylent and its potential benefits/risks. That it seeks to avoid chemical additives is one potential benefit that I posited in the comment that spawned this fork. This is the only reason the word "chemical" entered the discussion.
In all honesty, I am not really interested in enumerating a list of problematic food additives. Perhaps you'd like to post another submission?
- quasque 13y agoIf you're talking about unintentional contamination during manufacturing (for example http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melamine#Melamine_poisoning_by_tainted_food http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melamine#Melamine_poisoning_by_...), Soylent would not necessarily protect against that. Though one would hope they have sufficiently adequate quality control practices to spot any such contamination before it reaches customers.
- unclebucknasty 13y agoYou are correct. That is an exceedingly insightful point that I hadn't considered. This is exactly why I appreciate HN. Thanks for sharing.
