According to WP [1], this somewhat (?) obscure book was the inspiration for the name, not the extremely well-known movie that I need not name here. I assume this is sanitization by the marketing department?

- jack-r-abbit 12y agoIn the book, the name applies to some manufactured food stuffs. But all the people that try to make the joke about it being made of people miss one important fact. In the movie, only the Green was made from people. There existed other variants that were not made of people. If this one was from the movie, it would likely be called Soylent Grey. :)
