The term Soylent Green comes from a SciFi film of the same title (I think) made in the 70's. It featured Charlton Heston playing a cop who discovers that goverment, in order to feed a starving population,is producing a food stuff called "Soylent Green" The main ingrediant of which is recycled human bodies. Hence the Futurama references to it . I don't know what soylent means however .

thank you all the film Astrozombie is talking about was inspired by a book perhaps? I'm not sure if the movie was aired here in Italy. I guess no, because I like sci-fi movies and never heard of this one. Too bad, otherwise I could have appreciated the joke in Futurama bye

Originally posted by Just Chris: It also made a reference in The Simpsons, when a scene in Springfield took 40 years in the Future and Bart, now Justice of the Supreme Court, goes with Homer to watch Itchy & Scratchy the Movie for the first time. Homer orders some soylent green with his tickets, and the total's like $700. Hmmmm..If I can travel to the Future...and sell the Popplers...

Soylent Green was grown on one of the plankton farms on the ocean surface. They processed plankton into a soy/tofu type food, till they ran out. Soylent Red and Soylent Yellow were different planktons.

(A comical, 'super-deformed' animated version of Charlton Heston races up to the camera, screaming.) Chuck: "Soylent Green is made of PEEEEEOPLLLLLLE!!" Announcer: (jovial) "It sure is, Chuck! It sure is. Soylent Green. You are what you eat...so eat what you are." --Suicide Booth sponsor advert from The Neverfinishing Fanfic
