That's 50% more expensive than soylent, and has a significantly shorter shelf life. If you want something approaching food while backpacking etc. you may want to just go for MRE's.

Also xylitol, lactase, potassium citrate, rice bran, and vegetable glycerin are not really 'whole foods' by most definitions.

I tried MREs for a while - they are fine for camping but too high in sugar and salt for regular eating. They are also very bulky (two of these per day - http://usarmy.vo.llnwd.net/e2/c/images/2013/05/30/298090/siz...) and leave behind a lot of trash.
