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!

Soylent Green 

Playing on the "harvesting humans" idea from the 1973 movie, the term "Soylent Green" has emerged as a derogatory term in today's political issues of embryonic stem cell research and frozen embryos.
"Yeah... he had soylent green therapy after the accident."

"Mamma's got her Soylent Green on ice."
