Are that kind of drinks popular in North America and if, then why..? I'm having problems understanding why would anyone want to consume something like that.

IMO Soylent tastes gross, too. Kind of like soggy cereal.

(I can’t drink most diet and protein shakes because they’re so aggressively sweetened that they set off the sensory issues.)

> I'm having problems understanding why would anyone want to consume something like that. Nothing of what Soylent Green does is new, companies like Fresenius, Nestle, Abbot and whatnot have been manufacturing balanced liquid nutrition for medical needs for decades. I'm far more surprised these established players in the enteral nutrition market haven't started their own push for something like this, trying to sell th…
Field Roast Vegan Sausages ( https://fieldroast.com/product-family/sausages/ ) were temporarily banned a couple of years ago ( http://fieldroast.com/blog/field-roast-coming-back-canada/ ). I'm a vegetarian, not vegan, but I was pretty angry when they disappeared from our shelves. There was also some scuttlebutt that Field Roast was reported to the CFIA by a competitor. As a left leaning Canadian. But don't tell me wh…
Completly off topic, but everybody should try the field roast apple sage sausages. They are absolutely amazing.

Well here's an example - I'm having jaw surgery tomorrow and will be on a liquid diet for a week. I stocked my fridge up with Soylent so that I'd have something decent-tasting and relatively nutritious to drink while I'm feeling like garbage. I also will make shakes, but sometimes soylent is just easier.
Why not buy a commercially made meal replacement product that has been on the market for decades and is endorsed by nursing and medical professions and is used in hospitals? Its not like no one had ever done meal-replacement foods before Soylent came along. Its not new, its not cheaper, its not as well regulated, its not as flavorful. Seriously, why would you buy Soylent (which has had numerous beta 'failures') over…

I don't drink Soylent either or think it's that great of a product, but the 30% fat cap is totally ridiculous. It's basically outlawing the ketogenic diet.
It's only outlawing keto diets marketed as general purpose meal replacements .

Not to split hairs, but the cap is 35% unless you want to replace all meals. I know we're all avant guard around here, but until fairly recently it wasn't accepted knowledge that fat wasn't as bad for you as first thought. It's understandable that regulations would take time to adjust.
But the "fat is bad" idea is fairly recent as well, really only since the 70s.
