THE Soylent Green Thread (merged)

by **Onyered** » Fri 23 Apr 2004, 01:58:47

I have been searching everywhere for a recipe for Soylent Green. Someone told me that I could find info on Art Bell’s web site but no luck. The only info I have come up with is to mix 3 vegetarians to every meat eater as to many meat eaters will make it tough. Any thoughts?

The meat will be tuff if you fail to castrate before the males get to old.
Feed em plenty of cake and don't let them excercise to much! Wait thats cattle!

As I remember now soylent green was crackers for the masses. "Don't eat it. Soylent green is people!"

The real thing ain't funny at all. I read about the poor lady who watched the 2 men cut her dead husbands heart out and arms and legs off for food. That is some heavy stuff!

Seriously if you start reading the logs of the Donner party. A few in the party didn't seem to have any problem with it.

Myself? I think I would just pass on with an empty stomach.

Long pork, or human canabalism, if far from unknown in our history, and is still practiced today in remote corners of the world. (especially the US congress). It is perhaps impossible for us to imagine, being over fed & pampered as we are, how anyone could resort to eating people.

Soylent Green, in Chuck Heston's movie, was a metaphore for processed foods today. Decades since most people prepared their own food from scratch, people eat all sorts of things they would find very disturbing if they had to process it themselves. Soylent green is just the logical extension of this same paradigm.

So... would you eat a person?

Let me ask instead this question.

How do you know that you have not already done so?

The cultural aspect of this is interesting. In New Guinea and many other parts of Oceania, where the native crops are unable to provide people with sufficient protein, eating humans that have died of natural causes or killed in war is (or at least was) common. Perhaps they just saw it as a logical way to extend their meager resources to gain more.

My conclusion: the consumption of humans is highly efficient. :D

by **Aaron** » Mon 26 Apr 2004, 16:31:13

Yes, but are they sustainable?

I know I should not laugh

but I can't help it! :mrgreen:

Hi

I watched Soylent Green after it came out, not long after the Group(Council) of Rome report on Population, Pollution & Resources, and at the time when the 1973 oil crisis was beginning to bite. I still vividly remember the film but had forgot its name over the years. Have recently been looking for this film as it deals with excessive temperatures/global warming and on how people had to generate their own electricity by peddal power asthere was no electric power.

Well worth a watch IMO as it is probably even more relevant today.

Anyway just joined group (my 1st post) and already found the answer to a question I had been looking for for some time.

Just remember, eating protein of like kinds causes mad cow disease. They call it curu or something in humans.

Want a leg or an arm?

Welcome Dundee; while you're there would ya run up to SA and see how much oil they really have?

by **Pops** » Fri 14 May 2004, 11:43:50

Yes Dundee, certainly a wealth of knowledge here! LOL

Actually dmtu, we should be nice to Dundee, the UAE has LOTS of oil:

Snip...

"The UAE will continue to produce oil for the next 150 years given its enormous crude reserves that rank fourth in the world, and output could last longer with the improvement of recovery technology, an UAE official was quoted as saying."

I bet there will be oil there long after that.

Hi DMTU

Never been up road to SA (like my Beer too much) - but know some people there including Aramco personel and those that visit SA from UAE regularly.

They have plenty oil, just less than before and even less than yesterday, so some people in business are worried and covering up and spinning they can massively increase and maintain production which I very much doubt.

Apparently at present following several well publicised attacks of foreigners in SA, many skilled foreign technicians are leaving causing advance flight bookings essential. This may also cause problems in developing and even maintaining output in SA oilfields.

Yeah, hadn't given a thought about western tech pulling out.

Living here could I refute what the government states?

I have absolutely no doubt that in 150 years time there will still be the odd Nodding Donkey in Lousiana, Texas, Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan,United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia etc etc.

Just how much (or how little) will they be producing ?

Most people in USA do not believe what Arabs and their media say so why believe them on this ??

And yes, please be nice to me - thank you.

I've read that in the old days if a guy fell in a sausage vat they went ahead and shipped it. never really believed it though because of the clothing
