Seems to be missing people from the ingredients.

I'm pretty sure this joke has been attempted every time anything is posted about soylent.

And it's not even Soylent Green, so the joke doesn't even work.

I have no idea what this is, and the README isn't helping. Why is it a program?

Agreed

I've been eating Soylent twice a day for more than a year as my primary food source. I'm always interested in new variants (especially ones that cut down on cost) - this one seems interesting. Any chance that there's an Amazon shopping cart that someone can add to get all this stuff easily?

Also, I noticed that the Readme links to Rob Rhinehart's page (http://robrhinehart.com). Unfortunately, it looks like it's all been taken down. Anybody know why?

Soylent is so awful for you. They really capitalized on the ignorance of millenials with regard to proper nutrition.

edit: Shouldn't have trigger responded, but one of my biggest gripes with Soylent is their use of maltodextrin. It's not something you want to be consuming in mass every day. It is good for post-workout nutrition but as a meal you may as well be consuming sugar.
