> assuming it's not missing any major dietary component

It has some fibre, but it's missing solids. Who knows if that's important or not?

They claim it has a long shelf life. I'm not sure what they're doing to maintain shelf life. Vitamin C, for example, has a short shelf life. Soylent aren't saying how long the shelf life is, or which nutrients might degrade sooner.

That's the kind of thing they'll need help with. Sealed containers, maybe with weekly supplies per container, dark light-proof containers will help.

(While I'm strongly anti-Soylent, I'm trying to be more constructive.)
