jseal,
The state provided a basic food biscuit (soylent) as a dole in several colours. Most were pretty so-so, but for some reason the green version was the sought after one. Chucky (where's my gun) Heston discovered that the company sent trucks out at night to pick up the dead, dying and indigent from the streets and turned them into the green biscuits.
Ick, that's not how I'd like to eat our ladies.
