Ugh, every discussion about soylent follows the same pattern.
person #1: But he hasn't proven it's safe!
person #2: But you haven't proven that it isn't!
person #1: But he doesn't have a PhD or any qualifications in food science!
person #2: But you don't either! And anyway the real experts admit they don't know what they're doing anyway. The fake experts are busy pushing colon cleanse products and miracle diets.
person #1: But he's playing with people's lives! Think of the children!
person #2: But so are the guys who invented the Doritos taco shell, the twinkie, and the super-sized french fries. Why the double standard?
How about injecting some reality into this debate and admitting that nobody is going to actually eat nothing but soylent every day. OK, maybe possibly the original inventor will stick to it for a while, but I can't imagine anyone else possibly doing this. Most Americans can barely make it between meals without grabbing a snack. Do you really think someone is going to eat nothing but green snot for a year? All these arguments are irrelevant, really.
