The title of a (great) sci-fi film starring Charlton "from my cold dead hands" Heston, made in 1973.
The name comes from a combination of 'soy' and 'lentils'.
The film was (loosely) based on an anti-contraception novel, called 'Make Room! Make Room!', by Harry Harrison.
It is, of course, famously made from people.
New, Soylent Green!
Now with more girls!
Also available in Red, and Yellow.

Taken from a 70's film. Soylent Green is a supposedly soy and lentil based nutrition source which later turns out to be made out of harvested humans hence the quote "Soylent green is people".
Sometimes used to describe a big and nasty lie told by a large company or goverment.

Playing on the "harvesting humans" idea from the 1973 movie, the term "Soylent Green" has emerged as a derogatory term in today's political issues of embryonic stem cell research and frozen embryos.
"Yeah... he had soylent green therapy after the accident."
"Mamma's got her Soylent Green on ice."
