That's just every Soylent thread, or more broadly every nutrition related thread. It's one of those things everyone thinks they know a lot about, whether from investing a lot of time and money into a fad diet or just from watching a youtube video with more emotional than scientific content.

Since small changes in diet don't really affect the health of most people when compared to the sum of everything else, I imagine we tend to get a lot of meaningless confirmation, too. One time I gave up on eating vegetarian because I was feeling worse. So I wrote off the idea of vegetarian meals for years. Looking back on it, the problem was probably more about my extremely high stress levels at the time than the food.

You're not wrong. I come in here knowing barely anything about Soylent and it's just full of people shitting on it without any further explanation :/

Not overly useful.
