As I stated in another comment, I am also a "real food" advocate. Nowhere have I stated that I think we should replace everyones meals with soylent. I simply made the assertion (which I continue to believe is correct), that doing so would probably be a net positive for many people in this country. In other words, the main thing I'm wanting to argue is that if you are "afraid" of soylent's potential effects, then you should already be equally afraid given this country's current average diet.
