SOYLENT GREEN IS MADE OUT OF PEOPLE!!!
Hypothetical situation

You have discovered the one great and horrible truth about Modern Society.

The police are dragging you away and you only have time for one message to shout out so that the others will understand.

What do you tell the "people" that they don't know?

10. You've got the quote wrong...
It's "SOYLENT GREEN IS PEOPLE!"

Minor point but still valid.

"A few months ago, I told DU that the quote was: "Soylent Green is made out of people". My heart and my best intentions still tell me that’s true. But the facts and the evidence tell me it is not."

18. carpe diem!
Ironic side note; the quote in your title was delivered by Charlton Heston, who I suspect in realty would have been a principal stockholder in the producer of Soylent Green.

19. I'd Tell Them The Truth, But First I'd Have To Warn Them That...
some people, knowing the truth have had changes in behavior, hostility, agitation, depressed mood, suicidal thoughts or actions. Some people had these symptoms when they began hearing the truth, and others developed them after several weeks of listening to the truth. If you, your family, or caregiver notice agitation, hostility, depression, or changes in behavior, thinking, or mood that are not typical for you, or you develop suicidal thoughts or actions, anxiety, panic, aggression, anger, mania, abnormal sensations, hallucinations, paranoia, or confusion, you might want to stop listening to the truth. Also tell your doctor about any history of depression or other mental health problems before entertaining the truth, as these symptoms may worsen while reaching the truth.

Also...

Some people can have serious skin reactions while absorbing the truth, some of which can become life-threatening. These can include rash, swelling, redness, and peeling of the skin. Some people can have allergic reactions to the truth, some of which can be life-threatening and include: swelling of the face, mouth, and throat that can cause trouble breathing. If you have these symptoms or have a rash with peeling skin or blisters in your mouth, stop listening to the truth and get medical attention right away.

Use caution driving or operating machinery until you know how the truth may affect you.

Finally...

In clinical trials, the most common side effects of the truth include:

* Nausea (30%)
* Sleep problems (trouble sleeping, changes in dreaming)
* Constipation
* Gas
* Vomiting

These are not all the side effects of the truth. Ask your doctor or pharmacist for more information.

A side effect is a negative or positive effect related to a medicine based upon clinical studies.

Tell your doctor about these side effects that bother you or that do not go away.
