I've heard that they had no nutritionists onboard...

  False: perhaps they had no accredited nutritionists. The founder has claimed to have read several texts.

    Reading several texts makes one a nutritionist?
  • cloudwalking 12y ago
    Sorry but non-accredited nutritionists don't count as nutritionists.

      They do. It's like art. The protected term is dietitian.

    This isn't the office, and it's not reddit either. Please stop it with the Dwight references. I beg of you. Your karma wallet does the same.

  This is not correct, they have been working with them for a while now: http://blog.soylent.me/post/61556254347/9-15-weekly-recap http://blog.soylent.me/post/61556254347/9-15-weekly-recap

  Not that I think Soylent is a good idea, but a nutritionist is not a well defined profession or qualification in the way the a medical doctor is. So if the people involved in this project consider themselves qualified in the field of nutrition, I don't see how that makes them different to anyone else speaking or giving advice on the subject. A big organization with lots of money doesn't automatically make a group of people a legitimate authority on anything. After all, you can get all sorts of qualifications in things that are clearly quackery, e.g. homeopathy.

    That's false a dietitian has several requirements and while less than a doctor it's on par with a RN. Initial collage level education + test + continuing education credits. http://www.eatright.org/Public/content.aspx?id=6442472286 http://www.eatright.org/Public/content.aspx?id=6442472286 http://education-portal.com/rn_requirements.html http://education-portal.com/rn_requirements.html
