I couldn't find the ingredients list -- but because it is not fully understood what food contains there may be missing nutrients in soylent that a well-balanced diet would have.

Disagree; we've had the tech for a while to keep coma and locked-in patients healthy (or healthy modulo extremely sedentary lifestyles). Same thing with cat food and dog food. Soylent is a trivial extension.

  Disagree; change "healthy" for "alive" and we could agree. This is somehow the same distinction between mortality and morbidity. IMHO, mortality stats are pretty useless and we should always look at morbidity stats.

    That depends entirely on what we're using the stats for, for pension valuation I'll stick to mortality! Glib/nitpicky I know, but all stats are useless in some context - the trick is to get the right tool for the job. Dismissing an entire dataset as useless is just missing the point.

      Fair comment; I was thinking on health costs (I have a chronic disease and I tend to view everything indexed to health). On an individual basis, I will rather be dead than unable to have an autonomous life, but this is completely a personal preference.
