soylent green 

The title of a (great) sci-fi film starring Charlton "from my cold dead hands" Heston, made in 1973.

The name comes from a combination of 'soy' and 'lentils'.

The film was (loosely) based on an anti-contraception novel, called 'Make Room! Make Room!', by Harry Harrison.

It is, of course, famously made from people.
New, Soylent Green!
Now with more girls!

Also available in Red, and Yellow.

Soylent Green is PEOPLE!

Climactic phrase from the Charlton Heston film.
Usually shouted at random in a bar or restaurant, very melodramatically.
Guy1: Hey man, you want to grab some chow?

Guy2: SOYLENT GREEN IS PEOPLE

Soylent Green 

Taken from a 70's film. Soylent Green is a supposedly soy and lentil based nutrition source which later turns out to be made out of harvested humans hence the quote "Soylent green is people".

Sometimes used to describe a big and nasty lie told by a large company or goverment.
guy#1 "I don't like campaigners, they're just selling Soylent Green"

Guy#2 "what do you mean, are you saying it's all lies?"

Guy#1 "Yup, the whole load of it"

Guy#2 "Oh my God... Soylent Green... it's people"
