Is there more to the Soylent thing than mixing off-the-shelf protein shake powder, olive oil, multivitamin pills, and mineral supplement pills and then eating it?
Not really. In fact I’m beginning to think that the Soylent guy is obfuscating his source of supplies in order to obfuscate how simple it is. I found a powder that is 100% of everything for $1 a scoop at costco.

… you sure that stuff actually contains everything you need?
EDIT: sorry, not sure if I understood you correctly; you’re claiming that a similar, cheaper product exists, right?
It is 100% of the RDA of all micronutrients according to the label. I’m not at all sure that the soylent guy hasn’t found something similar and is just adding it to an oil/whey/oats concoction.
Well, there’s a thing. These people need better PR.
They sell themselves short as just an anti-aging formula.
