Meal replacement drinks are nothing new. Jevity, Nutren are used primarily by hospitals and store shelves are full of supplemental drinks such as Ensure and MuscleMilk, but Soylent is something different in the sense that its creator, 24-year-old engineer Rob Rhinehart, wants it to test our perceptions of the sustainability of food. What are we truly putting into our bodies? To put it simply, bad stuff, that much is true. Soylent is full of good stuff.
A vegan source of protein, and an assortment of carbohydrates, amino acids, proteins and dozens of other vitamins, Soylent is not exactly lacking in the nutrition department. The drink (which is currently in Beta testing) has already gathered over $1 million in pre-orders, and there will be a party in August for the official launch.
And to be perfectly clear, the name is tongue-in-cheek and not related to Soylent Green, the fictional supplement made of people.

Regardless of harm/benefit, the choice of the name “Soylent” is marketing stupidity on a galactic scale.

To: Wurlitzer
Maybe that’s the intent?
Look how many “green” companies closed shop recently. There has to be a money making hidden scheme there and it’s not the product.

Try the White-Mexican flavor.
It'll blow you away!
