[[WMG: The world of Soylent Green is headed for a really bloody period of crisis]]
Historically speaking, periods of violence were often the result of resource scarcity, like Russia's Time of Troubles to the Rwandan Genocide.

In New York City, the situation is so bad, that denizens have been reduced to eating processed cadavers...and even that isn't enough, since a day in line only got one angry woman "a quarter of a kilo." And this is in America, an economic superpower.

How bad are places like Africa and Asia in this world if even America can no longer feed itself?

Within a few years, wars are going to break out as governments try and conquer what few fertile regions of the world remain or simply to distract the population and cull the surplus population.

[[WMG: The whole thing is a plot to try to save the world]]

Feeding people with people is not really sustainable, but it does reduce the number of people on the planet. The aim of the Soylent Corporation is a drastic crash population reduction to try to midigate disaster so that some trace of humanity can survive.

[[WMG:Humanity will eat Soylent Green anyway]]

Because it really, really, doesn't want to starve and because it still holds out hope of colonizing other planets to save itself.

Just as Soylent Green is made of people...

[[WMG: The whole movie was a Xanatos Gambit by the government to make people lose their hunger for Soylent Green]]
It actually is just soy and lentils, but the demand for it is so huge that the government developed an extremely intricate series of events to have somebody discover their false planted evidence that Soylent Green is people, then let him escape and reveal it to the public. That way, the government won't have to keep producing this expensive product.

[[WMG: People were already being farmed...]]
Consider the terrible state of the cities, the encouragement for suicide and the money for corpses. Consider that people cannot get out of the cities. It's not illogical to presume that people are ''already'' being farmed as food; they just don't know it.
