Mr. CEO will tell you, at nauseating length what's wrong with it, and everything else.

First, I never cook. I am all for self reliance but repeating the same labor over and over for the sake of existence is the realm of robots. I utilize soylent only at home and go out to eat when craving company or flavor. This eliminates a panoply of expensive tools and rotting ingredients I would need to spend an unconscionable amount of time sourcing, preparing, and cleaning. It also gives me an incentive to explore the city’s fine restaurants and ask friends out to eat. In fact, I find soylent has made me more social when it comes to food. ... Getting rid of my fridge was one of the greatest days of my life. Nevermore will I listen to that damn compressor moan.

I have not set foot in a grocery store in years. Nevermore will I bumble through endless confusing aisles like a pack-donkey searching for feed while the smell of rotting flesh fills my nostrils and fluorescent lights sear my eyeballs and sappy love songs torture my ears. Grocery shopping is a multisensory living nightmare. There are services that will make someone else do it for me but I cannot in good conscience force a fellow soul through this gauntlet.

just eat "grandma foods"

And work "grandma jobs", live "grandma lives" and last but not least - have "grandma child mortality rate".
How many grandma's siblings never made to puberty - while their genes did?

It's not that simple.
What back in grandma's days was a rare occurrence (be it chocolate cake or a rare genetic trait) is MUCH more common now, with all these extra humans and all these resources at our disposal.
One of the reasons why we have all these dietary medical issues now is that back in grandma's days people who had them would just get "sickly" and die.
Another one is that we've basically solved the "world hunger" problem. Granted, we haven't yet figured out the equal distribution issue and we did solve it in the fastest and cheapest way possible...
Then we solved that whole walking everywhere issue...

Hell, there was this guy recently claiming to have solved the whole chewing issue.
And many other issues.
Back in grandma's time, he'd be the village idiot, telling grandma to forget about washing clothes cause she could just order more from China.
And grand-grandpa would probably periodically have to chase him away with an axe.
Yet today... He sold millions worth of his "food" invention.

We are living in a very different world from grandmas, in many ways.
In others, maybe not as much.

The walls are buzzing. I know this because I have a magnet implanted in my hand and whenever I reach near an outlet I can feel them.

I enjoy doing laundry about as much as doing dishes. I get my clothing custom made in China for prices you would not believe and have new ones regularly shipped to me. Thanks to synthetic fabrics it takes less water to make my clothes than it would to wash them, and I donate my used garments.

How I Gave Up Alternating Current

555 posters at Ars Technica spent a glorious summer's day ripping Rhinehart to shreds. Op-ed: How I gave up alternating current

"I'm an idiot who doesn't understand the energy footprint of Soylent Green and shipping cotton to china for cheap underwear, then shipping those underwear to my house on a weekly basis. I am so far up the ass of my OCD neurosis that I am living a contrafactual life and pretending it's not destroying the world."

I think Robert Rhinehart is just trolling us. Who could possibly hate kitchens as much as he does? Check out his blog and tell me he's not either a troll or has some serious static in the attic. The section on kitchens is particularly illuminating.

With no fridge, no dishes, no microwave, no oven, no range, no dishwasher, no utensils, no pests, no cleaning products nor dirty rags, my life is considerably simpler, lighter and cleaner than before. I think it was a bit presumptuous for the architect to assume I wanted a kitchen with my apartment and make me pay for it. My home is a place of peace. I don’t want to live with red hot heating elements and razor sharp knives. That sounds like a torture chamber. However, it’s not a total loss. I was able to use the cabinets to store part of my book collection.

Wait a kitchen is a "torture chamber"? Slow your roll there, big boy.

I mean, if he wants to make his life "simpler, lighter and cleaner" he could just tear out his bathroom and use catheter. It'd be about as much fun as living on Soylent 2.0.

From Robert Rhinehart's blog post:
"I read a book on Number Theory in one sitting, a Differential Geometry book in a weekend, filling up a notebook in the process. Mathematical notation that used to look obtuse is now beautiful."
