"Soylent is a choice"

So is airlines offering tickets that aren't bound by the lowest denominator of price. Those airlines went out of business.

If there's a good chance that Soylent becomes popular and a good percentage of the population uses it on a day to day basis, it's not a "choice" in the same way as avoiding all technology and being Amish is a "choice". Setting good practices like not having mold in your food, and following regulations, would be good before it gets to that point.




Pure straw-man hyperbole. Currently its a cool idea being tried; some folks find it helpful.
