Origin[]
Soylent Green is a 1973 American dystopian thriller film directed by Richard Fleischer, and starring Charlton Heston, Leigh Taylor-Young, and Edward G. Robinson in his final film role. It is loosely based on the 1966 science-fiction novel Make Room! Make Room! by Harry Harrison, with a plot that combines elements of science fiction and a police procedural. The story follows a murder investigation in a dystopian future of dying oceans and year-round humidity caused by the greenhouse effect, with the resulting pollution, depleted resources, poverty, and overpopulation.
The majority of survivors live in squalor, haul water from communal spigots, and eat highly processed food wafers made by the Soylent Corporation — a large food processing firm. Their mainstay products, Soylent Red and Soylent Yellow, are a staple food, and the latest product, a new, more nutritious, and flavorful wafer derived from plankton, Soylent Green, is introduced to the populace. The main characters separately discover from researchers using the Soylent Oceanographic Survey Report, 2015–2019 that the world oceans cannot actually support production. Instead, it’s made from people. The film ends with the protagonist trying to expose the horrific truth to the public, even when hounded by the corporation and likely dead to rights by the climax.
Effects[]
Eating as a meal supplement allows any substance that can be swallowed or chewed to be used by the digestive system with no innate harm. The material becomes as neutral as water to the body, removing any contaminants that usually causes sickness. Inundates consumers with visions or emotions of poverty, suffering, starvation and violation of cultural norms. Continues until the body has fully processed all energy gained from the food.
