In the 21st Century, SOYLENT  green is a reality!




Rob Rhinehart, the creator of Soylent powder formula, has not had a meal for a month other than his soylent.
His powder from a biochemical  level is made up from — a drink mixture of vitamins and minerals which includes calcium, potassium, zinc, vitamins A, B, C, D, E and K.(cited from www.news.com.au)
The article states that Rob has replaced 90 % of food intake with Soylent.
I can see this being a supplement as in daily vitamins not a food replacement.
You will feel better with these vitamins and minerals in this powder but how is this better than what is out on the market today?
He has a website and has raised a large sum of monies, but just because he didn't have the time or the wiliness to make the time, Per Rob's ideology: "By taking years to spoil, dramatically reducing cost, and easing transportation and storage, soylent could have a dramatic effect on hunger and malnutrition".( cited from his website: https://campaign.soylent.me/soylent-free-your-body)
That is a bold statement to make.
I did my own fact checking pertaining to world hunger:

There are 5 reasons to world hunger, they are: (cited from 2013 World Hunger and Poverty Facts and Statistics, http://www.worldhunger.org/articles/Learn/world%20hunger%20facts%202002.htm ).

1. Poverty is the principle cause of hunger.
2.Harmful economic systems are the principal cause of poverty and hunger.
3. Conflict as a cause of hunger and poverty.
4.Hunger is also a cause of poverty, and thus of hunger.
5. Climate change.

How does he plan to overcome all of the obstacles of world hunger?
 
I read his website and all that he has put into detail, but what concerns me the most, no one on his team is a nutritionist or dietician.

Could this be the "Be all, End all" solution?

When i read the article all i could see was the movie with Charlton Heston "Soylent Green" and the line
"Soylent Green is People".

Not my cup of Soylent Green Tea....

I do not endorse this product nor philosophy.
