Sausages are a ground mix of meats. Is there an equivalent for a mix of vegetables, fruits, grains, meat, etc? It would make more sense as a complete cheap meal than a powder, except for being perishable. It brings to mind the 'diet problem' http://www.neos-guide.org/content/diet-problem for which, if optimizing for price only, often suggests that you eat mainly potatoes.
referring to caffeine as a nootropic seems to be broadening the term 'nootropic' quite a lot. am i misunderstanding what a nootropic is? edit: i'm referring to the quote saying "So we have two mild nootropics" which i read as counting caffeine as one of them
The list of nootropics is somewhat fluid, as much of the science behind them is either recent or currently occurring.
Once again, Soylent's team is relatively behind the curve in terms of supplementation, quality, and "dietary trends" (some of us just call them fads ). But one thing they sure get right is how to market to a niche: all you guys and readers of tech news sites. It'll be successful, but let's not make it out to be something pioneering, because it's most definitely not. Anyone who's doing full-Soylent really needs to rea…
Soylent White, it's still people! ... I am not the only one bothered by their naming decisions, right?
My current hypothesis is that them majority of their target market (like their CEO) weren't even born in 1973 when the original movie was released. Even if they've heard of the movie, I doubt they've seen it. From a marketing perspective, it probably has very little impact either way.

I don't understand what that study has anything to do with this. Their conclusion was that fruit and vegetable consumption reduces risk of death and does not mention anything about the why the fruits and vegetables reduce risk OR that said benefits are not reproducible through other nutritional systems.
So this has everything to do with it. There's more to diet than numbers, yet if you're on a pure Soylent diet, you're clearly not getting some relatively-unknown things that are almost conclusively beneficial to your body.
Absence of proof is not proof of absence. Eat your fruits and vegetables or, statistically speaking, your cardiovascular system will eventually suffer.
Soylent's marketing puts a lot of otherwise smart people at serious long-term health risk.

Well, not even close.
