For fans, Squared represents an obvious, if modest, next step, from liquid to solid. To the rest of the world, Soylent Squared is a snack-size protein bar.This compromise echoes Soylent's trajectory more generally. When it first emerged from Silicon Valley in 2014, Soylent was billed as a step beyond food — that time-consuming, tooth-exhausting replenishment favoured by everyday humans.

Asked if new customers should consider living solely off Soylent, Mr Crowley said,"We don't recommend it, no. Absolutely. 100 per cent. We don't recommend, not because we don't think it's healthy or we don't think it's there. It's a very difficult thing to do and our research tells us that it happens for a very limited amount of time."There are other reasons to tell a less provocative story.
