1. To those whining about lack of fiber...it has plenty of fiber (33.45 grams to be exact). More than that little bit of shredded lettuce in a Big Mac extra value meal. In fact, my bowel movements seem more regular on soylent than when I eat regular food.

This is the crux of the problem -- by the physical process of reducing it to the form of a sludge, you destroy the structure of the food and much of the insoluble fibre. Perhaps it anecdotally sustains you but likely you would get different nutritional benefit if you simply ate the constituent ingredients separately.
