I'm more interested in seeing Soylent succeed as a benefit to people around the globe who literally cannot afford (or don't have access to) a proper healthy diet.

How does this benefit people around the globe who can't afford or don't have access to a proper healthy diet?

Why don't we instead give money to the sensible things that the WHO does, like genetic engineering probiotic yogurts which produce all of the essential vitamines that humans need (which is something WHO has funded).

Then let the population double again. Make larger Soylent factories. Repeat until all joy in life is gone.
This post adds nothing to this conversation, and additionally makes some very controversial assumptions.

Pretty disappointing.

It makes an important point actually. Using joyless Soylent to alleviate lack of good diet leads to a larger population joylessly depending on Soylent. The situation is worsened.
