In other Soylent news, the powdered foodstuff has a new "version release":
Soylent founder Rob Rhinehart has continued to update Soylent's formula, tweaking the contents and altering the micro- and macronutrient blend in response to user feedback and also actual science and lab-work. The latest change, to "version 1.4," is the most significant since the product's launch: in addition to ditching the often leaky bottles of oil, the amount of soluble fiber has been greatly reduced, from 10g per pouch to 3.9g; the total amount of fiber has been reduced from 30g to 16g per pouch.
Other changes include reduced portion size (the pouches indicate 4 rather than 3 servings), a smoother texture, a more neutral and less dough-like flavor, and less "butt stuff." Why? "Some people's gut bacteria are not accustomed to the soluble fiber."

Probably logistics. I placed an order in early september, didn't get it until late february (original ship date was to be late novemeber) and in the meantime their back-end system switched my shipping address to somewhere in a completely different state. They just got a bunch of VC money in the last month so maybe they will have the resources to set up for international orders now.
