“Soylent Green”

A recurring theme here at FR.

Because we know what’s coming.

Poor Sol. And poor EGR in real life. He died 12 days after filming wrapped.

Last week I noticed there is actually a soy product called Soylent and people buy it.

Not one of my favorite Heston films, but definitely a memorable one.

People should know better. Don’t eat or drink soy unless you want man-boobs.

Also, hops have high levels of phyto-estrogens, so go easy on the IPAs.

It also seems like only a duffus would drink the stuff.

That is hilarious and a sad commentary. I was unaware of soyboy face.

Giving up soy for Lent is a good idea.

Actually...the opening of the film begins with the assassination of one of the elites by a member of the oppressed ...crowded...hungry class. I think the scene where they’re getting ready to eat a tomato and some beef is almost prophetic as they reminisce of how food used to be.

Nah. They’re offset by the psycho-testosteromiums in the tequila chasers.

Sol’s “full 20 minutes” gets me every time.
