Having read some info about the film Soylent Green I really feel that it is truly becoming a reality. It’s supposed to be Sci-Fi where the world becomes so over populated that not enough food can be grown to feed everyone. Because food is so difficult to find they have to eat this stuff called soylent green. I don’t think this is too far off the mark because when people in the likes of Africa have to be given food aid, what are they given? Usually great big bags of soy beans.
Soylent Green is People!
Build coffins. That’s all you’ll need,
You Maniacs! You blew it up! Ah, damn you! God damn you all to hell!
Sorry, I had a ‘Heston’ moment there.
Soylent Green is only one dystopian view of the future. The one PETA and the like have in mind is more sinister along the lines of Brave New World and Demolition Man.
