Soylent: Possible meal replacement?

ad

I found an article where a software engineer has survived two months off of his own concoction of raw nutritional material and no food, basically using himself as a lab rat in an attempt to replace a natural food diet.

"Rob Rhinehart – a 24-year-old software engineer from Atlanta, found himself resenting the inordinate amount time it takes to fry an egg in the morning and decided something had to be done. Simplifying food as "nutrients required by the body to function" (which sounds totally bulimic, I know, but I promise it's not), Rob has come up with an odorless, beige cocktail that he calls Soylent." ~via Vice Magazine

Ingredients list and further reading is here: http://robrhinehart.com/?p=424

I wanted to post this in the supplements forum to see some kind of feedback from the fitness community - could something like this be the future of supplements?

Actually, in the original book Make Room! Make Room! Soylent is made of soya and lentil. The movie changed many aspects of the book, though it's still one of my favourite movies.
