Because there is already enough food for the world, that food is just poorly distributed. But concentrating on just the specialist end of disaster nutrition: World Food Programme et al already have products that are vastly cheaper than Soylent. 20% of the world population live on less than $1.25 per day. About one billion people lack access to clean drinking water (the primary ingredient in Soylent). Here's what the world food programme does: https://www.wfp.org/nutrition/how-wfp-fights-malnutrition Here's a list of special nutritional products: https://www.wfp.org/nutrition/special-nutritional-products Here is the factsheet about existing WFP products (note price and shelf life) : http://documents.wfp.org/stellent/groups/public/documents/co... Soylent is far far too expensive for this role. It requires clean water. Rob making the claim that Soylent could help world hunger is yet another sensationalist sleazy claim made in ignorance of existing market.
