Does the headline writer not notice the irony at all? How about? `Nobody really said Soylent was the end of food, despite what click-bait headlines claim`


What? https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&rlz=1C1...


Most of those headlines end in question marks, and therefor are implicitly saying "it isn't" :P


The headlines I see on page one, in order:

* The End of Food - The New Yorker

* Soylent Isn't People; But Is It The End Of Food?

* New Yorker: Soylent to end food? (secondary article)

* 11 Craziest Parts of The New Yorker's Soylent Article (secondary article)

* Following the rise of soylent and the end of food | The Verge

* Soylent Could Make Food Preparation A Thing Of The Past

* Let's embrace the end of food | Al Jazeera America

2 of the 7 articles have question marks, and one of those is a secondary article. 1 of 5 of the primary articles pose it as a question.


Thank you for the detail!


We updated the title from "Soylent is not the end of food, despite what click-bait headlines may claim".


Thanks!
