The Parallax Corporation Releases First Officially Licensed High-Energy Plankton Food, Soylent Green

Soylent Green, the iconic food for which the 1973 science fiction movie is named, has been officially produced by The Parallax Corporation under a license agreement and is now available to the general public.
 
Aug. 30, 2011 - PRLog -- The all-natural green crackers, which contain real high-energy plankton, are made in the U.S. at a small-batch gourmet food manufacturing plant.

“We worked to create a collectible box that looks just the way Soylent Green would have been packaged,” says Parallax President David Garth, “and the box design recreates the utopian propaganda of an evil mega-corporation with the feelings of despair and hunger depicted in the movie.”

Soylent Green, which was released in 1973 to critical acclaim, was based on a Harry Harrison novel, Make Room! Make Room!, and is set in a remarkably prescient dystopian future, where the world suffers from overpopulation, food shortages, poverty, food riots, pollution and severe global warming.  Much of the population survives on processed food rations manufactured by the giant Soylent Corporation.  These include Soylent Green itself, which is advertised as being made from “high-energy plankton,” in spite of the dying oceans.  In the final scene, Detective Thorn provides the famous quote when he shouts, “Soylent Green is PEOPLE!”

This is the first time that Soylent Green has been officially manufactured under license.

“We couldn’t include people among the ingredients,” joked Garth, “because that’s strictly illegal.  At least that’s our official position.”
