Having Googled this one:

Plot: In the year 2022, the starving masses depend upon the government manufactured food item Soylent Green to exist. But in the midst of a murder investigation, a cop uncovers the chilling source of the product...

Figures: USA. 1973. 97 minutes. English. Metrocolor. Rated PG.

In case you haven't figured it out, the "chilling source of the product" is... people.

Now now oristar, no need to be rude. Yummm does mean yum, as in tasty. Soylent green is a made up name, used in the movie to describe a government-made food that was made from human meat. Within the context of the quote, the mention of 'Soylent green' is sarcastic, in a way. One problem many people have with GM foods is that sometimes animal genes are spliced into vegetables.

Being rude? You've surprised me. Since the Soylent Green is made out of human meat, so I condemned the scientist who invented the product is f... If you deemed this condemnation was improper, you might make me think that you support the scientist to invent the evil product。It seems unlikely though.

I supposed there was some misunderstanding between us.

I think we have a misunderstanding here. Soylent green was a fictitious product from a movie. In the movie, it was the government who invented the product. The message of the movie was that it is evil to engineer food in unnatural ways, and also that human beings should not be treated as a commodity. I'm sorry, I did misunderstand your original post. Wink If you haven't seen the movie, it is a cult classic.
