Not to restart the Soylent debate again, but yes, I account for metabolic quirks and yes, I think I can (and do) better than Soylent. Soylent is both one-size-fits-all and same-thing-each-day-every-day.
Note that we didn't talk about criteria and likely have different ones in mind. For example, "Will you die if you eat nothing but Soylent for a couple of years?" is a very different question from "Is Soylent optimal food for me (or anyone)?".
I don't think Soylent is optimal, but I do think it would be very difficult to beat, unless they did leave something out or something like that.
Comparing Soylent to a blow-up doll is at best a huge exaggeration.
