High carbohydrate diets can over time lead to insulin resistance which can lead to type 2 diabetes. Soylent has 225 net (total minus fiber) grams of carbohydrates, 15 grams of fat, and 114 grams of protein in your daily serving. 225 is high but not outrageous.
1. Actually the user is barely a minute old at the time I posted. I'm a long time reader but never saw the need to register. But this made me want to comment.
And I stand by what i said.
Selling a mixture of maltodextrin and powdered oatmeal with some vitamins and minerals mixed in for $85 a bag (~3kg) while claiming that you can live healthy eating only this IS a scam.

It's a better/more complete nutritional product than Ensure (which has a lot of things that some people, like myself, can't drink).
And $12/day is actually really inexpensive for a nutritionally complete meal. A lot of people (especially the people this is geared towards for now) will easily spend that on one meal. Reducing my entire food budget to $250/month would be a dream come true.

Note that i've bought a full month of it already, so it's not stopping me.. i'd just like actual conversation on the subject heh
