Food tastes better than Soylent.
An ad for Soylent Drink appeared on my Twitter™ feed this morning, and I confess that my mouth hung open in surprise for a moment. Was this a spoof? Part of a subversive marketing campaign for a movie remake?Jessa Gamble, How Healthy is Soylent? - The Atlantic
As far as I can tell, they're completely serious - there's nothing in their FAQ to indicate that they're aware of the dystopian 1973 Charlton Heston film, there's a very earnest Wikipedia™ entry regarding the creation and development of the product, and its relative benefits as a food alternative are the topic of unsmiling discussion in the media.
On the other hand, I see that they don't offer it in green.
