The biggest drawback I’ve experienced with Soylent so far is that their shipping and manufacturing infrastructure is terrible. It’s been 11 weeks since I ordered, and will probably be another six or eight weeks before they deliver.
Then I probably need to revise my estimate to an additional eight to ten weeks.
The earlier estimate was based on their “push all shipping estimates back an additional four to six weeks” e-mail, combined with the original “ten to twelve weeks” estimate.
Have you tried it before? If so, how have you liked it? What’s it taste like? Is it filling? Satisfying? Does it make it easier to be healthy as far as having less fat/sugar/calories? Have you had any difficulty digesting it or anything?
Haha yeah, I actually didn’t think to do that. I came to LessWrong for a rational opinion on whether it’s safe/a good idea and because I figured there’d be some people into biohacking who could point me in the right direction for information, but hadn’t thought to ask about that other stuff until I saw your response. I’ll check out some reviews!

They claim they’ll finish the crowdfunded orders in 5 weeks: http://blog.soylent.me/post/96572963857/current-production-and-fulfillment-status

It’s basically cake batter.
You know you can google customer reviews, right? There’s nothing inherently special about LessWrongers’ reviews.
