Soy-based discoveries.

I hope you've all seen the 1973 movie called "Soylent Green". If you haven't I suggest you stop reading, because apparently it's a classic (judging by the amount of spoofs of that motion picture), so you will want to watch it, and I will ruin the ending for you.
Seriously: Go Away!
If you're still here I can only assume, you either saw the movie or don't care much for it. However to give you one last chance to run, I will quickly recap the movie (for those of you, who like me, forget the names of movies they watch). It's loosely based on H. Harrison's Novel "make room, make room!" and depicts an overpopulated future, where soviet style communal flats are almost ubiquitous, and African style water riots are not unheard of either. The main character is a detective looking into the murder of a politician. And there's this new cool produce (food) called Soylent green (made by Soylent corporation, not out of lent soy). And the incredible shocking truth is that... Soylent green is people! Well, duh.
I don't mean by name, it could be "McAntropos", or Pizza "koolizza", but eating processed people is completely natural in the circumstances depicted, and has been practiced for centuries in protein low corners of our earth. In fact I have to admit that when instead of saying "we'll take him to the morgue", or "tell the daughter to pick the body up, or we'll charge for storage", the guys who took the body at the beginning of the movie said "we'll send him to processing", I had little doubt about what "processing" meant. Did you? Maybe not, but did you really find that to be a shocking discovery?
Hey, I can understand the cultural barrier, "a more civilized time" and all that jazz. But, I swear, every few months someone says it, like it was the biggest revelation of their life- "OMFG! S0yl3nt gr33n = ppl!". Well here's another spoiler for you- in Planet of the apes, THEY ARE ON EARTH!

P.S. Before you accuse me of hindsight effect, I'd like to tell you that at the moment of watching, I only knew there was supposed to be a twist at the end, and not what it was.

P.P.S. upon giving it more thought, I have found that the moment I was sure they were making people steaks must have been after the scene where Sol is watching a nature show in that euthanasia place. Which is very similar (for obvious reasons) to the scene of humane turkey killing in SouthPark episode "Helen Keller, the musical", which I did see before SG. the mind works in mysterious ways, doesn't it?
