* But if you're an average person eating the Standard American Diet, you are currently insane from a health standpoint, and switching to Soylent would make you a lot less so. And among all the options you might have for improving your diet, it is among the cheapest and lowest-effort.*

I have been skeptical of Soylent's claims, and I'm often troubled by the concept that we need to somehow "fix" food, but this comment makes quite a bit of sense. I would rather a person suck down Soylent instead of Twinkies, Doritos, and other highly-processed, barely-food stuff that is sold these days.

Wow--I don't think I've ever (knowingly) helped change someone's mind by writing an online comment before! It's a nice feeling, thanks. :)
