    The fat content can make up no more than 35 per cent of the total energy it provides, unless it is meant to be a replacement for all daily meals, in which case the maximum is 30 per cent.

Whether or not Soylent should be considered food is beyond me, but the above sentence is hilarious considering that the fat calorie content of Milk--the thing that every mammal can be and is sustained by--is almost 50%. Our understanding of fat is seriously perverse and outdated.

I bet you could live a long time on milk alone. I recall learning about some nomads that live on milk and blood, of camels, I think, for several months at a time. Milk can build mammals.

Plenty of people are on a 100% milk diet. They're just all babies.
