soylent green

I suck at plot summaries, so here's what michaeldvd.com has to say about this movie:

"Set in the near future when the world's population has reached critical mass, Soylent Green is equal part detective story and futuristic adventure. The world depicted in the film is a nightmarish possibility. Overpopulation has forced millions to live on the streets where any food is in short supply. People are forced to live amongst the rotting corpses of starvation victims as they wait for the Soylent company to distribute their weekly supply of Soylent Green, a manufactured food product developed to feed the starving masses. Charlton Heston plays Richard Thorn, a detective assigned to investigate the murder of a high-ranking Soylent Executive. His investigation leads to a shocking discovery that could devastate mankind."

And what, pray tell, is this shocking discovery?



SOYLENT GREEN IS MADE FROM HUMAN FLESH.

I think of this movie every time I eat soy protein.
