It seems I'm late to the thread but I want everyone to realize that you don't need to drink Soylent or any other meal replacement solution for every meal. Attacking the idea of meal replacement on that assumption is attacking the straw man. The founder of Soylent only replaced every single meal of his to test out the product, not as a recommendation for how it should be used.

If you enjoy preparing every meal you eat, or eating social for every meal, Soylent isn't for you so save the specious criticisms. If you do, however, get annoyed by having to prepare certain meals and wish you could just get the food into your belly immediately without the work on occasion, then Soylent or some other meal replacement drink is a great solution.

It's not going to kill you, or mess up your health, or do any of the many terrible things people have been warning about in every thread having to do with Soylent. It's going to perhaps save you some time and give you a few essential nutrients you may not have been getting otherwise. That's it.
