Meal replacement powder exists as a weight management tool but in the event of a natural disaster or space exploration, hell even homelessness or world hunger, could someone live off them indefinitely? Obviously it wouldn‘t be pleasant but it is possible? Or would someone waste away, lose vital muscle mass and cognitive abilities etc?

Answer: Thank you to those that answered. In the case of disaster relief It seems the biggest issue with powder is access to clean water not health related reasons or the actual cost of making it like I thought may be the case. As for space exploration if a base formula is tailored to an individuals specific needs it’s viable.
