Could you elaborate on the data they are collecting?

The human body with it's organs and molecular pathways is quite a tough black box to crack, and there is not a spark of a doubt that Soylent - and no one else - will not understand it for quite a while.

And then there is human human variations.

The concept was flawed from the very beginning. It's sad to see them fail, and I feel bad for the people that suffer because they believed what was marketing and not hard science.



well human response to soylent is already a huge data set, was used so far to add/remove/rebalance stuff and of course drive recalls.

I agree but at some point this work should begin somewhere, somehow.

"People love it" isn't a rigorous double-blind scientific study.
