Sure, but ceasarby didn't raise issues about Soylent's claims, s/he wrote "You can't live on just Soylent either.", and that's the post being replied to.

I don't understand.

You claim that Soylent is a fun experiment. Soylent don't. Soylent claim that you can replace all your food with this forever.

When someone says "you can't live off Soylent" and someone replies that it's a fun experiment letting people know the lies and misrepresentations from the producers of Soylent is a valid response. Soylent is not being marketed as an experimental product woth some risk. Soylent is being marketed as a finished product that has health benefits.

I do understand. That just wasn't what was under discussion here. The back-and-forth was about the possibility of living on Soylent-the-product, not about the claims of the company.
