Soylent sounds like a nice substitute when I'm too lazy to cook/order, but I don't think I'd ever trust it to be the only thing I eat. What about vitamins/etc?
The media hype about Soylent as a total meal replacement that gives you superpowers or something seems misguided. Much more compelling to me is the idea of something that is very easy and inoffensive to eat when I don't have time to make or buy food.
Yes but it was media hype triggered by the guy who came up with it in the first place. He made the claims, not the media.
