Soylent details, ingredients:
“Two Months of Soylent”
“THIS MAN THINKS HE NEVER HAS TO EAT AGAIN”
“You know what’s a complete waste of time, money, and effort? Eating. Rob Rhin
ehart—a 24-year-old software engineer from Atlanta and, presumably, an impossibly busy man—thinks so.”
“Who Needs Food When You Have Soylent?”
“Add up all the time and money that you’ve spent this month on food — shopping for groceries, cooking, cleaning up, paying your grocery and restaurant bills — and you might be surprised at how much of your life is eaten by food.”
“Why Don’t We Have Food Replacement Pills?”
“From single pills providing a day’s nutrition to bubblegum that serves you a three-course dinner, bite-sized food replacements have been present in fiction for a long time. And the fuss all started with suffragette.”
DNews is a show about the science of everyday life. We post two new videos every day of the week.

Anybody can do this already. Go buy some Ensure.
sure eat food engineered by a guy who has no education relating to the human body. Only a idiot will eat this.
Soylent is a junk food only better than Tang. It's better than sugar water for undernourished people in the United States, Ukraine Greece, etc… Â The very best nutrition shake is Vega One.
that guy is super weird IMHO
you guys shouldve done it for a months
why are his cheeks always so red
So many scared little ignorant people in this comments section.
This is fucking amazing! This could do so much good to the world!
It doesn't have cholesterol which is necessary for the cell membranes. Eventually you would die from a lack of cholesterol, as your cell membranes just collaps.
Formulas with the same purpose have been developed by teams of scientists trained in this field. They've been around for many years and are available at Walmart or virtually any drug store. Despite the expertise involved, they are not an effective long-term replacement for a healthy, balanced diet. Not sure how this is supposed to be different.
The essential nutrients are in but I'm wondering how youre getting the calories? Like what ingredient does he use for them calories? Because correct me if I'm wrong, nutrients and minerals have no calories right?
(Edit) Oh wait theres protein and fat
the only thing that is stopping me from trying this is the claims that certain types of soy [non fermented and non natural] promote increased estrogen in the body. i don't know enough about the soybeans that are used.
I hate cooking, and eating feels like a chore, so this might be good.
future biliner
Not delivered in south america…
dam it!
I`m gonna have to do this on my own.
Fascinating
1973: Soylent Green is make out of people.
2016: People are made out of Soylent?
He sounds like Elon Musk.
He got defensive about the questions haha typical little millennial
PERSON EATER!!!!!!!!! o0o
If we think this in evaluation aspects… It's really shrinks our digestive system.. example: elementary canal.. rectum and anus.. because of less use .. it will be shrinked like appendix.
if you think about this.. its wonderful. cheap for third world countries, and for poor people sometimes to save money
It tastes like cake batter? Sold!
Can you make this for kid size
As in for kids
And their needs
Then one toddlers and teens too
Soylent is cheating us. The last 3 boxes I received; all the bags were about 130g lite. They've ignored my inquiries and tried to placate me by sending me more product. All of those bags were lite too. They're doing this because they know they can get away with it. Corporate greed at it's finest.
So, what happened? where are the results from your trials?
Instead of trying to make food replacement let's try and keep a market for better food. This guy is an Electrical Engineer not a doctor or a nutritionist.
