Why should there be pushback? You have educational materials with varying levels of digestibility. One person may refuse to pay because they can just read the python docs, another may be willing to pay $10 because someone spent effort to present the information in a directed, guided, and easier to digest manner. Another person may spend a few thousand to get guided instruction from a teacher instead. Such is life.

Re:My 5.5 Months on Soylent: The Joys of Not Cooking on Sunday April 12, 2015 @10:52PM (#9365730)
It's quite neutral. I find people who haven't taken protein shakes or the sort usually have the biggest issue with the taste when it's really not that bad.

I consume my Soylent warm so it breaks down easier in a shaker bottle and it works well for me. Been using it for six months now to replace my meal while at work.
