> $230 is cheaper than grocery shopping for a month for a lot of people too.
Put probably not cheaper than grocery shopping for a month for one person, unless that person has particular food tastes that Soylent isn't going to address.
Show me a shopping list that provides 100% RDI of all vitamins and minerals (without dangerous excesses of any of them), a reasonable balance of protein, fat and carbs, sufficient omega3s, and 2000 Kcal/day. You don't even need to worry about making actual meals out of this random assortment of ingredients, just the ingredients themselves. I do not believe you can do it for $230/month.
spend the remaining ~3/day on whatever you feel like. suggestions include: pasta and sauce at ~1 a meal.
whole fat chocolate milk at about ~2 a day.
a pint of olive oil a day.
a case of ramen a day.
a pint of ben and jerry's (there's 2000 kcal by itself).

Oh, also, I've been living on less than 3$ of food a day for the last year, so this isn't exactly theoretical. 230 per person per month would the height of luxury for me.
