The premise was that overpopulation exhausted the earth's resources so people had to eat energy bars made of processed human flesh.
If the anti-contraception religious fundamentalists have their way, it will be sooner rather than later.

It's Soylent Green. And we are probably never going to get there. Harry Harrison wrote the story the movie is based on when population projections for the future looked uniformly bad. However projections now show a world population levelling at 10 billion in 2050, well within our current food growing technology.
Hence the need to recycle human beings as food will not arise barring either a catastrophic crop failure (possibly due to environmental causes) or a massive upward of birth rates: neither is likely unless global warming becomes very severe.
Oh, and the movie's writer added the Soylent Green is people bit.

It was called 'Soylent green', short for soy and lentils, I think,
it was another tripped-out 70's sci-fi movie, but still good, I guess.
I liked 'silent running' better, that same guy was in it that played the cop in 'Driver', if I remember right. Both movies talked about the same idea, the environment and humans' impact on it....
Another good one along the same general lines is 'Logan's Run'.
The commonality is that we are rapidly consuming a lot of resources, and there's no new land being made...people short on space and resources get violent, and territorial...then, there's usually wars etc. Better to get a handle on some of these global megatrends instead, maybe, if that's even possible...

The bible does not state that we will ever get there but there will be a fervent heat that will devour men eyeballs out of the sockets before they can fall to the ground. Could this be describing a nuclear blast? Sure sounds like it.

Yes and I loved that movie. But don't worry we won't be getting there in our lifetime. Although, there is one thing from that movie I wish would be implemented and that's the place the old guy went to humanly end his life. I do feel we humans hold onto life way too much and we need to learn when it's right to let our loved ones go.

FYI it's Soylent Green, as in soy beans.
We're pretty far away from that.
