I’ve experienced issues with five separate version numbers of Soylent powder over the past five years (and two versions of the Soylent drinks, and two versions of Meal Squares), to the point that my body now considers this entire category of “constructed” food products unappetizing and would rather skip a meal than consume any of them.
Your statement that it’s “affordable” is valid only the sense that it’s cheaper per calorie. Declaring it “better” without qualifiers is, to use your own words, “your opinion”, and declaring it “convenient” presumes that it is nutritionally valuable to all, which in my case and in this founder’s case, it cannot be for flavor or digestive rejection reasons.
Please take more care when declaring your opinion not to misrepresent it as fact. Evangelizing a competing product in a Show HN isn’t going to earn you much favor to begin with, and misleading people by stating opinions as fact will only undercut your message further.
