I drink a syntha-6 protein shake every morning after working out or as a quick meal replacement and it works great. Costs about a buck a serving.

A protein shake is not comparable with soylent "I eat a banana every morning. costs me only 30cents. "

It is comparable. The label for syntha-6 says meal replacement right on the bottle. And there are plenty other meal replacements just like soylent. Nothing new.

First off, in order for this statement to be even HALF true, you need to be consuming organ meats (particularly liver) regularly. Even consuming meat from a variety of different species, and regularly eating organ meat, off the top of my head you would still definitely be deficient in vitamin c and vitamin k. Edit (I was curious about the eskimo paradox): It turns out that whale skin is a fairly good source of vitami…

Wolves do not eat organ meat. They are "carcassivores" -- they eat meat and bone. That's it. Period. The exception is organs of very small prey that they eat whole, and of course dirt and whatever else that gets on the carcass. The same has been observed of dingoes and this goes for our pet dogs too. Dogs don't need vitamin C. They manufacture their own. Don't know the specifics of K off the top of my head, but dogs…

You did see that the comment I was replying to was basically "raw meat works for us too - no supplements needed" right?

That's what iterative improvement looks like. You make mistakes, then you stop making them.

That's not what I want from people making medical products. Or food.

Yet the medical community and food industries still have iterative processes. It's a miracle you still live.

> whale skin, liver and fermented meat regularly,

Meat. Bone. Very little fat. No organs.

We couldn't handle that. Dogs can.
