Human Flesh???
Could it have been beyond just soylent green, and even the rich were cannibals too?
Did Saul & Thorn eat people stew?

Good point! Could be human flesh. That would be terrible.

Haha, this reminded me of Weirs 1979 TV gem "The Plumber".

ANyaway, avoid the brain at all cost :-)

I always wondered if it was really beef or human flesh.

It does make you wonder when I Posted this a couple of years back, wish the movie had a higher budget so these ideas could be fleshed out...

Probably not (although the beef Thorn unwraps for Sol is very obviously not the same beef the grocer shows Shirl). Wise old Sol would have noticed.

My people skills are fine. It's my tolerance of morons that needs work.

It's obviously meant to be real beef. It's extremely rare, and thus very expen$ive.
