On: Now Shipping Soylent 2.0

I believe the response from Soylent is that fiber itself is not necessary; it's only needed to move along solid food through the digestive system.

If you're only drinking Soylent, you should need far less fiber, if any at all.

I am seeing a lot of criticism of this online [1], however.

Because a bunch of engineers is going to know best about that sort of thing. (It wasn't invented by gastroenteroligists was it?)

They pay for dietician advice. The credentials of those dieticians are probably online somewhere.

I'm not sure when in the process they got this advice, or if there's a dietician on staff full time.
