Rhinehart, who is twenty-five, studied electrical engineering at Georgia Tech, and he began to consider food as an engineering problem. “You need amino acids and lipids, not milk itself,” he said. “You need carbohydrates, not bread.” Fruits and vegetables provide essential vitamins and minerals, but they’re “mostly water.” He began to think that food was an inefficient way of getting what he needed to survive. “It just seemed like a system that’s too complex and too expensive and too fragile,” he told me.

What if he went straight to the raw chemical components?

“I feel like the six million dollar man. My physique has noticeably improved, my skin is clearer, my teeth whiter, my hair thicker and my dandruff gone.” He concluded, “I haven’t eaten a bite of food in thirty days, and it’s changed my life.”

😱

Welcome to last year.

The stories of the terrible gas/bathroom fun they have after a day or two are absolutely hilarious.
 
Soylent Green is goooood people.

These guys have been around for a while. Guess they're finally pushing it out for sale. IIRC, Ars had tried it and said it tasted awful. It's not exactly cheap either.

Also, why would you try to mass market any product that's not a joke using a name that's synonymous with cannibalism. 😀
