SOYLENT GREEN

SOYLENT GREEN

Only a few would try it
Hunger always wins
Vegetarian, it’s claimed
Food for the planet
But made from people
Soylent Green
Yuck!

I suppose people could be tricked into eating it depending how it's prepared. I saw the movie so long ago I do not recall its ending. Creative entry and yuk for sure. BTW, our foods today contain things that are close to being as gross as this. If only everyone knew the crap being snuck into our processed foods

Nice write about a science fiction classic that starred the late veteran actors Charleton Heston, Edward G. Robinson, and Chuck Conners.
