I was strongly anti-Soylent during the first few announcements.
Some of the claims they made during the kickstarter were shameful exploitative quackery. The Soylent team seem to have dialed that down a bit now. So, at the moment they're selling glop made from food ingredients that they claim has all the nutrients a healthy average person would need to live, and they are letting people chose how much glop to introduce into their day food routine.
I hope they have some good press materials handy in case some idiot does something weird with the product because the backlash could be fierce.
Now that Soylent have stopped making ridiculous overblown claims I am not so worried about what people chose to put in their bodies.
