Interesting thought, but if I may ask, can you really blame Soylent for that?

The only person that I know drinks soylent only to surpess the hunger until lunch, and doesnt plan on drinking only soylent. So far they say its doing its job good enough.

What's your opinion on that ?

Soylent isn't marketed that way.

It is marketed as a most-of-the-time meal replacement.

Am I wrong?

Yes. They stopped doing that long ago. From their frontpage video: "While not intended to replace every meal, Soylent can replace any meal". And in text: "If you’ve ever wasted time and energy trying to decide what to eat for lunch, or have been too busy to eat a proper meal" And basically everyone I see in forums will say that they don't advice on a 100% Soylent diet.

Disclaimer: I'm a firm believer that we need to change our consumption habits. Soylent is a way to make an impact, even if it is only used once a week.
