I think any Soylent thread would benefit from a summary of typical comments, to make way for new ideas. Pick yours.

1. Liquid diets aren't new

2. Cooking is easy and enjoyable, I don't see why people avoid it

3. Soylent is healthier than fast food even if it's inferior to well-made natural meals

4. It hasn't undergone rigorous, clinical testing

5. It's dystopic, dehumanizing

6. It's a dietary choice of others that makes me inexplicably angry

7. I've been trying it for 50-100% of my calories for X weeks and it's been great/terrible

8. It's based on outdated FDA recommended allowances

9. It ignores the social, cultural aspects of food
