Soylent Green was a movie that took overpopulation and "Limits to Growth" hysteria seriously, and tried to "show" us what life would be like in an overpopulated future.

However, this is not happening. Obama is crowding people into mega cities at a time when the global birthrate is collapsing, when Mexican immigration is nearly halted, our own birthrate has fallen below replacement level, and we have more land set aside for wildlife than ever before.

This is why I am becoming a fan of John B. Calhoun, whose experiments in population density can explain a lot of our current problems in society, because there aren't a lot of rational reasons for all this.

I meant to say Soylent Green will reflect the probable conditions of the peasants (us) in the mega cities. Won’t make any difference of the cause of the high density only the results of the high density living. A note, NYC is planning to approve the construction of 700,000 325 sq ft apartments for the modern urban resident. These have no full kitchens and residents are expected to eat most of their meals out. Think about it if they force people out of the rural and suburban areas into cities with millions of these type residences.
