It doesn’t compete against individual foods. It competes against diets. If you went through the work to make sure the diet was perfectly balanced, than it probably wouldn’t be that hard to beat Soylent, although I’m not sure the margin it’s possible to beat it by would do much. I don’t think things like WholeFoods and farmers’ markets would be necessary. On the other hand, if you were trying to make a diet just by looking at a few major nutrients, or worse, whatever you happen to crave, you’re not going to beat Soylent, regardless of the quality of food.
Taken as a single meal, it’s not hard to beat Soylent. After all, Soylent has a third your recommended daily value of calories. Given how much Americans tend to eat, food with less than a third would be healthier.

No, that doesn’t seem to be true. Let’s take me. I can drink Soylent or I can eat a variety of food, these are the two choices I am facing. There doesn’t have to be any “diet” involved.
Soylent doesn’t compete against individual foods. It competes against food, in all its variety.
Or were you thinking that I meant “diet” as in reducing your food to lose weight or something like that? I guess that is the more common use. Sorry if I caused a misunderstanding.
In any case, the specific choice of foods you use is more important than the set they’re chosen from. It doesn’t seem right to say it competes against a farmers’ market. It competes against specific selections of food that may be from a farmers’ market.

That’s what a diet is, isn’t it?
