Then buy a commercial MRP. There are cheap ones around.
The manufacturers don't heavily promote that aspect because they are cautious and careful.
There is plenty of variety in the meal replacement product marketplace.
Here are the brands made by one company (http://abbottnutrition.com/brands/abbott-brands) - they cover just about anything you'd need.
Commercial providers have been making and supplying these foods for many years, and they've been used in a variety of settings for a long time.
How are these worse than Soylent, a product created by people who don't know what they're doing in their kitchens and advertised with a variety of probably illegal claims used with no medical supervision?
This is wrong. I'm not sure what products you're talking about. But there are products that are designed to be used as a sole source of nutrition.
> Recommending something that we absolutely know for certain is not complete because you have an irrational hate-boner for soylent is absurd.
> Your claims about soylent are false by the way, which really doesn't help your case at all.
Feel free to rebut anything I've said with links.
Soylent have no dieticians on staff, or anyone with any nutrition qualifications. So far all product has been produced in their kitchen. Several mistakes in formulation have been made. Errors in mixing (not taking fineness of powers into account, for example) have been shown.
The ones referenced in the post I replied to.
>Soylent have no dieticians on staff
Yes they do.
>So far all product has been produced in their kitchen
No, it hasn't.
>Several mistakes in formulation have been made
And you seem to be under the misconception that it is still some guy tossing stuff together in his kitchen. That is not the case.
The FBFs are complete foods. The others are supplements designed to help in cases of extreme malnutrition, or in cases of mild malnutrition.

You'd have thought they'd list the dieticians.
I get no results when I search the Soylent blog. (http://blog.soylent.me/search/dietitian)(http://blog.soylent...
Please, help me out. Who are the dietitians on the Soylent staff?

When you're selling a food replacement the dietitian isn't a minor role. It's a key role in the company. Combine that with the criticism that Soylent has received from registered dietitians and it's important to list some dietitian, if only to counter the negative results when I type [soylent dietitian] into a search engine.
Reading the article you point me to I see ...
> Once we got some professional dietitians and food scientists to collaborate with us it got much tastier and more filling
... which is a little bit different from your claim that dietitians are on staff. Maybe that's for the future, with Soylent v2 or v3, when they move to more individualisation?
EDIT: Note that this is a blatant lie:
> A lot of things will give you calories, but nothing so far has been designed to be something you can live off. There are no food replacements on the market.
There are plenty of food replacement products, products that are designed for people to live off, in the market. It's not easy to get hold of them because other sellers have some sense of responsibility to their customers.
> FDA-approved,
Another lie!
