I've only seen clips. However, this was akin to Logan's Run (which was actually in production at the time of development of Soylent Green, and was borrowed from in the latter) where people are food - vs fuel.

Um, it's Soylent Green (not Logans Run) where people are food...I modified my quote to make it "fuel" instead of "food".  Logans Run they simply kill everyone on their 30th birthday....CAROUSEL!!!

but their album covers were freaking awesome!

shorthair:
Yes is cool. Kinda in the same camp as Toto and The Fixx. Still, heavier is better; I'm toying with the idea for covers of various songs of some of these and other bands. That chun-chun and syncopated double-bass, you know.

boyster: No no, you're forgetting the freezer scene. "Fish, plankton, and other things from the sea!"...while strolling by the clear caskets of frozen folk...."it stopped coming. And they came instead. ...And now you're here. Are you ready to be processed?!" Anyways, that's what Wikipedia says is that the novella for Logan's Run was already out, the movie was in production, and Soylent Green borrowed from it.

boykster:
Yeah, still not sure that's what the context of that scene was about, but ok.  If they relied on runners reaching a certain point of escape for their entire food supply, you'd think the sandmen would be much less efficient at their jobs.

 :dunno

Anywho, it's MUCH more of a major plot element in Soylent Green....however both movies stress the use of euthanasia / early death as a means to manage resources and control overpopulation....
