Strange - seeing as the problem was that it doesn't meet the legal requirements for a meal replacement, could they not just slap a different label on it that says "tasty shake (not a meal replacement)"?

Regulatory body probably takes one look at the marketing and says "hmm..."

Yeah. And I'm running out of my stash. It's what I have at lunch when I'm not interested in walking away from my code.

I'm not even romantically interested in Soylent. I will use any brand. It just has to have a low glycemic index. =(

I would suggest KETOCHOW if you are looking for a lower glycemic index.

Also I laughed out loud at your typo. Please don't edit it.

I explicitly put "romantically" :)

I meant that I don't have a, "I'm a Soylent fanboy" attitude.

Yep, another for ketochow. Love it. I need to get back into my keto lifestyle. It definitely simplified things.

Maybe we can start an illegal barter economy: Soylent for low-cost prescription drugs.
