Exactly Steve, I don't think this is meant as a complete replacement, just as a way to take more control over your nutritional intake. Right now most of us are forced to engage in a rather sporadic nutritional lifestyle, sometimes eating really well, other times not so well.

The idea of Soylent seems to be a) to offer a more structured approach to nutrition during those periods when we have to compromise and b) to offer those people who don't have choices a way to guarantee proper nutrition throughout their week.

The developers clearly don't intend it to be a replacement for 'social dining' and why should it? It's an interesting idea, and particularly the DIY part.
