I agree Soylent used irresponsible marketing.

But many of those other products can be used as sole source of nutrition.

How is it irresponsible marketing?

Oh right, we already had this discussion. At least they got upgraded from "unethical marketing" to "irresponsible marketing". But how long can you continue to claim that the company engages in irresponsible marketing based on (allegedly) exaggerated claims during a Kickstarter?

Hence my use of the past tense "used", not present tense "uses".
