In other words, a sample size of one.

I haven't an opinion on the safety of the product, but a sample size of one only proves it's not an outright poison. It's likely not actively harmful, but still, nutrition is a complicated thing.

I just think the whole idea of it couldn't be more depressing. People who don't get enjoyment out of food freak me out a bit. There are few things I enjoy more than cooking and eating well prepared food.



Whether or not it's a sample size of one, it's the longest soylent trial I've read about so far. You have to start somewhere.
