And the story behind Soylent™ is basically just s/food shortage/time shortage/, no?
Or what else is the point?
Soy mimics estrogen and long term overconsumption can contribute to endocrine issues that are hard to diagnose and poorly understood.
If you're in Europe I suggest you try Joylent. Great many flavors, nice texture, and comparably cheap. I am not on it now but I used it to replace one meal per day for weeks at a time with no adverse effects. But yeah, I've also heared many Soylent-Horror-Stories.
I live in Spain. We have good food at cheap prices and restaurants everywhere. I see absolutely no reason to try overly processed crap like that.
I challenge you to find the same benefits any other way.
I have been using Soylent for a month now and have no problem. Although I'm using the powder one you have to mix with water not the bottled one which contain caffeine and is made to replace your breakfast + coffee. Anyway sorry you had such bad experience, living in then toilet is never great :/
Actually, the base 2.0 (bottled) Soylent doesn't contain caffeine and is intended to replace any meal of the day. What you are referring to is Coffiest, which is only one variety.
I don't derive joy from food. Guess I must be a sociopath. Fuck you too.
This post actually had me doubled over in laughter.
We have a line of products here in Netherlands from a company now called JimmyJoy (formerly Joylent... and the name change was probably inevitable). I've consumed dozens of their shakes, with banana being my favorite. 700kcal, 45g protein, and about 33% of the usual daily recommended vitamins and minerals. Oh, and vegan. I can highly recommend them.

My wife has some stomach issues that we think are related to allergies (to what? the elimination diet gave us some suspects, but no convictions). After reading this, I think I'm going to stop suggesting she try Soylent as an alternative option.
