Why not go all the way, and live on Soylent?

The Soylent of today doesn't claim that though. It says right on bottle that it can replace a meal but it should not replace every meal. In that respect it's not much different than Ensure or other meal supplements.

There's a food product named Soylent... So I wouldn't worry about it too much.

Meal replacements have been around forever. Why is soylent better?

cgag Oct 19, 2016 View on HN

are we talking about soylent or the concept of a meal replacement?

Look.. Last I checked, there's a product called SOYLENT that people are willingly consuming.

Soylent hasn't broken anything... yet.

Maybe look into it more? Ensure and Soylent are very different products, even if they state similar purposes.

Then maybe soylent were solving the wrong problem

Does Soylent not contribute to those same problems?
