Besides, it's not called "Soylent Green". Green was the cause of the shock twist in the movie, but there was also Soylent Red and Soylent Yellow in the movie, which were pretty much what Soylent, the product, is trying to become.
The name is appropriate in the context of the movie, although I would have never chosen it.
- conjectures 10y ago> The name is appropriate in the context of the movie Only if you don't see a problem with buying from a company whose other product lines include ground up paupers. The name is like a stupid teenage joke which somehow managed to survive onto packaging. Also it's objectively ironic that the problem is related to algae, which is commonly green.
