I got curious: http://www.examiner.com/article/guant-namo-hunger-strike-to-...

> the government’s so-called act of kindness toward the Guantánamo prisoners is not just the gift of being force-fed, but forcefully fed with none other than Abbott Laboratories’ enteral formula, Ensure.

It's just one article but Ensure doesn't sound like a complete meal replacement.

Ensure is a complete meal replacement.

> For interim sole-source nutrition.

If you're tube-feeding someone you might want one of the more medical versions such as Jevity (http://abbottnutrition.com/brands/products/jevity-1-cal)
