&gt; Most important, Soylent has a more even distribution of the daily % of vitamins and minerals.<p>Which is actually what you <i>don&#x27;t</i> want, since the daily % isn&#x27;t consistent in meaning. In some cases its a target which most people should meet or exceed. It some cases its a target most people should be around. It some cases (e.g., sodium) its nearly the maximum recommended for the majority of the population, and <i>above</i> the maximum recommended for a substantial minority.<p>&gt; My feeling is also that Soylent measures more and tweaks their formula more.<p>Soylent is tweaking it more because they are moving it around fairly rapidly to deal with component prices and feedback from unanticipated negative impacts on consumers.
