Thanks for your input. Are there any existing dietary replacements you recommend that are similarly easy to prepare? (Soylent Orange seems to be working well for you as a solution, but I don’t think I would actually go to the trouble to put the ingredients together.)
On a related note, do you have any new/more specific criticisms of Soylent, other than those that you presented in this post?
None that I would recommend. None of my criticisms are original, Soylent still seems a very haphazard concoction to me. I do have a bunch of specific issues with Soylent that I haven’t discussed in detail e.g. lack of cholesterol and saturated fat not being great for hormones. But yeah, I’m not super motivated to get deep into it unless I decide to try to turn the latest variant of Soylent Orange into an actual service. I’m still working on it.

Easy as in time requirements or easy as in money? The kind of fluid food replacement that they use in hospitals is probably better than what Soylent produces.
Liquid diets are not exactly a new idea, and most of them don’t have to be prepared at all but come in portions. Since most of them have been developed for medical use, the price tag is significantly higher. Some of them have been developed for patients who can’t swallow normal food at all, so I doubt they lack anything important that Soylent contains and probably have been much more rigorously tested. If anyone knows studies that have been done on these people, I’m all ears.
I’d rank it below existing dietary replacements.
