Soylent

Soylent frees you from the time and money spent shopping, cooking and cleaning, puts you in excellent health, and vastly reduces your environmental impact by eliminating much of the waste and harm coming from agriculture, livestock, and food-related trash.
Oh... how rational. Of course, these people completely disregard the ritual benefits of procuring, preparing, & eating a communal meal with friends and family. Maybe they'll throw a huge Black Friday web sale, so I can purchase 10 years worth of holiday meals for the price of 5 years' worth.

One more giant leap away from our humanity, into a frightful world where our immaturity as holistic thinkers continually leads us to use technology in self destructive ways.

We should value our food independence very highly.

Monsanto and bayer are eagerly working hard to bring you GMO weed. Do you think that will change the "flavor"? :confused:

Must have gotten a bad body :shock: Gross I know, but I'm on a roll. Any body naming a product" Soylent" with the movie out there "Soylent Green", is just not destined for greatness, in my opinion. :surprised

What We Know About Why Soylent Products Are Making People Sick

Post by Riddick » 11-12-2016 07:11 PM

Food replacement startup Soylent halted sales of its Soylent 1.6 powder amidst reports that it was making customers sick. Two weeks prior, the company paused sales of its latest product, the Food Bar, after Gizmodo reported that several customers had experienced nausea, vomiting, “uncontrollable diarrhea,” and severe dehydration after consuming the bars. Some customers were admitted to the emergency room due to their symptoms.

In a blog post, Soylent revealed that while the company was reviewing what happened with Food Bars, it “noticed that a handful of consumers (less than 0.1%) who consumed Powder 1.6 over the past several months reported stomach-related symptoms that are consistent with what our Bar customers described.” Although the company wouldn’t say which ingredient is causing the illness, it has narrowed down its search, “given there are only a few ingredients that are specific to only [its] bars and Powder 1.6.”

This is just the latest dustup for the company, which has had its nutritional claims challenged since the release of its first powdered drink meal replacement in 2013. This also isn’t the first time the company’s been accused of being the source of health problems.

Despite some early viral success owing to an aggressive publicity campaign, which claimed Soylent would allow you to give up food, experts were not convinced. Joy Dubost, a spokeswoman for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, told Time in 2013 that many of the company’s claims about the nutritional benefits of Soylent “are not scientifically substantiated.”
