Soylent 2.0 Comes Bottled and Ready To Drink

An anonymous reader writes: Soylent has announced today their latest product, Soylent 2.0. It comes premixed and ready to drink in recyclable bottles. Each bottle is one fifth of a scientifically balanced daily meal plan, will last up to a year unrefrigerated, and will cost you $2.42. A Soylent blog post reads in part: "Not only are its ingredients vegan, Soylent 2.0 reaches an unprecedented level of environmental sustainability with half of its fat energy coming from farm-free, algae sources. This next generation agricultural technology has the potential to reduce the ecological impact of food production by orders of magnitude, signifying a major step towards a future of abundance, a world where optimal nutrition is the new normal."

      With all due respect, I'd rather eat Ramen and take a vitamin pill than consume the current Soylent formulations and fart all night long.

      Why choose only one when you can do both?

    I forgot about Soylent. I read the headline and thought, "Wow, Soylent News' new business model is pretty interesting!"

    Well, there's not much wrong with free-range, locally-sourced algae, but the real problems come from the container-bred, factory-farmed algae.

    farmed algae is inhumane. Constrained to live in limited vats I eat only free range algae. They get to exercise you see.

    Obviously, the vegans it's made from. This is revenge of the best kind - environmentally sensitive vengeance.

    Soylent , I would suggest following this up with a solid, sweetened product, in a variety of flavors, called Just Desserts

    i can buy a pound of hamburger, one tomato, one onion, head of lettuce, loaf of bread, for about 20 bucks, and cook four hamburgers, and feed four people and it will taste a heck of a lot better, thats about 5 bucks each a day, a lot better than a liquid diet too

    But that's not nutritionally complete.

    You need to add bacon and cheddar cheese.
