Nah, Soylent Green was before my time - but Blockbuster Video wasn't. ;-)
Now, where are those cookies??

Well, Cookie-monster...My sibs and I used to make cookies after school, during the Nixon & Reagan recessions (I obviously did NOT leave home right away! lol). Anyhew, we put so many ingredients into our chocolate chip cookies, people came from MILES around to sample them.
Among the goodies in that batter: oatmeal, raisins, dates (sometimes) nuts (including walnuts, pecans, peanuts and even Planters' party mix!), wheat germ (yes, it IS better than people think), butterscotch chips and sometimes, molasses instead of sugar!
Oh...*sweeeet-1000-calorie per bite, after-high-school cookies*!!! *glarrfff! Drooollll!*....I gained 20 lbs that year.
YOU say: would I have bested you if we'd met then, say, in the breakfast nook??? (with tea & crumpets besides!).
P.S. Just saw suggestions that Heston is "Soylent Green"---I'm SO down with that! He deserves it, you'll see, after watching "Bowling for Columbine", the weasely BAS**ARD!!! But I wouldn't eat anything made out of him. It'd be as poisonous as the atmosphere of Tralfamador! <:0

There is nothing about the government of that day in the movie. There is info about the giant corporation, Soylent Green, which controls the food supply, and there is obviously a police force, so presumably there is some kind of government, but there is no info in the film about it. (In Ron H's comment above, where he says euthanasia was mandatory at a certain age, I believe he must have been thinking about "Logan's Run." In Soylent Green, remember, there were a lot of old people, including Sol, who went to the center voluntarily. And I don't remember its being said that the centers were run by the government.)

Ummmmm I didn't see the movie because I read the book. I'm one of those folks who'd MUCH rather read the book because the movie leaves so much out of the story.
BUT, the Solent Green was Essentially veggie burger with a texture like steak. the main character discovered a case of Soylent Green steaks that, ummmm, "fell of the truck", if you get my meaning. He worked for a very rich guy who could actually afford to acquire REAL meat and met that guys Girlfriend who was is girlfriend so that she could get some food.
The funny thing about it is that everytime I walk into a Grocery Store now, I see the veggie based "meats" and have a silent (soylent?) chuckle and remember the book from so long ago.
So don't get your cokkie cutter all in a dither, soylent green wasn't cookies. PLEASE, don't give the soybean industry any ideas either. Don't MAKE me set you adrift on a sea of sour soymilk. LOL

That movie GROSSED ME OUT -- and I saw it when it first came out. eeeeeeeeuuuuuuuuuu!!!!
That was a good cult movie right up there along with Logan's Run. Rent that one next if you haven't seen it! Michael York was THE hottie of the day . . . .
And your cookies? I have no doubt that in a one-to-one bakeoff you would win hands down against God. He's not very good in the kitchen.
(((Thrice)))
(((Raji))) -- sweet thing -- Soylent Green was smushed up people -- definitely not veges!! Euch!

Agh... I just watched that movie!
Old 70's movie about the results of over-crowding and killing our planet... Note carefully the double-meaning of the word "furniture"!
For those who have not yet been exposed... here's a link:

I thought Soylent Green was people. That's what Charlton Heston said.
