I love the "it's sure healthier than eating a pile of rocks mixed in with cow shit" argument.

Yes, and hitting yourself across the face with rebar sure is healthier than driving it straight into your eye socket.

well, I didn't mean it like that.

IMO, the author of the article went way out of his way to try and prove soylent to be something... I'm not sure what he was trying to prove actually -- it seemed like he was generally kinda being negative. what bothered me is that he's spending so much energy to try and belittle something which is cheaper and probably healthier to eat than most fast food.

why didn't he just give constructive criticism?

EDIT: what I would like to see is some sort of concerted effort to try and make a cheap, inexpensive food, which isn't perishable. that's all. I'm sorry for being negative myself. I think such a product could go a long way for improvement of all humanity
