Cassidy Ward Wed, February 16, 2022, 11:09 AM CST Released in 1973, Soylent Green imagines a dystopian nightmare version of 2022 in which overpopulation and climate disaster have made the Earth nearly unlivable. Resource and housing shortages have exacerbated class stratification, with the wealthy living in lush, reinforced houses while the rest of the population is scrounging for scraps just to survive.
With not enough to eat, half of the world's population is sustained only by a staple food source created and sold by the Soylent Corporation. It comes in various colors, the best of which is the titular Soylent Green. The company bills their new green variety as more nutritious, having been manufactured from oceanic plankton, but by the end we know the truth. Soylent Green is people!
The film was a stark commentary about the dangers of destroying our environment and the lengths to which some corporations could go to maintain profit. Now that we're actually in 2022, the world has seen an increase in novelty foods, including one supposed meal replacement shake named after the famed movie.
The question now is, could we really make Soylent? And would we want to?

Just don’t eat clowns. They taste funny.
The solution to feeding people is developing oil and gas reserves. Also, get governments OUT of it. Taxation and regulation are sure paths to world hunger.

Remember this old book advertised in Western magazines years ago?
Cannibal Coast.. [Edward W Kilman] — History of the savage Karankawa Indians, who once inhabited the coastal regions of Texas.
Bernal Diaz(Conquest of Mexico) tells of how the Aztecs ate the sacrificial bodies of young Indians. He was not sure if Cortez’s men had also eaten them or not in the food prepared for them by the Aztecs. Montezuma did chow down on such sacrifices.
And lets not forget the remains of human meals found by archaeologists in the 4-Corners area of New Mexico and Colorado.
“Left haunch, the right haunch is the working haunch andmit is too tough.”
Old western script,
Jonathan Swift thought so but only Irish children ...
The solution to world hunger is for the hungry places to not farm like it’s still the bronze age.
We all have our limits. I won’t eat a progressive. It would make me nauseous.
Much world hunger is man made by corrupt governments.
We can have get-togethers to eat the people. They will be known as “Donner Parties.”
Way too fatty to be a healthy food.
Bwa ha.
It used to be that the underclass — those with no property or employment — would die of whatever, and take their bad genetic traits and cultural behaviors with them. Now we actually breed the lowest of the low. Until something changes, we are on a sure road to ruin.
Always heard the early whites in America oppressed the Native Americans.
I say we brought them Christianity. Changed some of the bad ones to the better.
Wasn't our first Thanksgiving based on Native Americans helping out early American settlers at Plymouth Rock? (That was a major experiment in socialism prior to Thanksgiving. What an expected failure on steroid.)
Another interesting thing I've read about history and archaeology was even though Native Americans hadn't invented the wheel there was an archaeological dig in central America found a toy wheel barrel with a wheel. Where did it come from and why didn't it catch on?
That movie didn’t really come true this year.
How many women look like Leigh Taylor Young?
Unfortunately, corrupt governments are as ubiquitous as hunger.
As long as they got the grapefruits.
>>It comes in various colors, the best of which is the titular Soylent Green.
I’ve always been partial to titular myself.
