#2Glad to see they've integrated the separate oil bottle -- that will make it way more portable.
On another note, I hope that the increase in manufacturing capacity will eventually allow Soylet to be purchased through traditional retail channels -- it'd be nice to just buy it by the package instead of bulk-orders online.

#3I'm almost done with my 1.3 and looking forward to 1.4. The big thing for me is the lack of the oil bottle and the sodium (I wasn't getting enough before and would get headaches).
At this point, my body has fully adjusted and I crave Soylent at some times. I use it for ~1/2 my meals and could easily see it taking 2/3. I do enjoy regular food a _lot_ so I doubt I'll ever go full time, but it definitely has helped to balance out my nutrition fully.
I continue to feel that Soylent is the first company that will likely feed the world - literally. Without the oil bottle and the ability to scale manufacturing, it is only a matter of time before we see Soylent as part of humanitarian convoys and/or used in medical settings. The possibilities are quite frankly amazing...

I posted my comment prematurely, I hadn't read through the article fully yet. I feel a bit embarrassed about obviously commenting on an article that I hadn't fully read, which is why I deleted my comment (before having seen your reply)...

#7I'm not going to run-on and on here, but I'm on 1.4 right now (first time Soylent user) and I'm pleasantly surprised.
I was very skeptical about it at first and got it just to convince myself I didn't need it. Immediately I felt pretty good and didn't crave the burrito I wanted for lunch.
I'm also very excited that it's vegan because that's been my diet for over 8 years.

No biggie, being an important point for people considering purchasing it probably does bear repeating here for anyone that missed it.

#9I wonder what it would be like if some food products were versioned 0.x, like OSS projects :)
