Question by Badonk ♥ The Sentient Chicken: Are we living in the days of soylent green?
We very much could be. Check out these articles, including one from about a year ago from abc news, about how human embryonic cells from aborted fetuses in many of the foods the general public consumes. So…gross.

Answer by Pearls Before Swine
Short answer: We are not living in the days of Soylent Green.
Longer answer:
Your first source is about a proposal to outlaw using fetal cells in food, but the person making this proposal has not provided any proof that this currently happens. I could propose a law saying that giraffes shouldn’t fly planes (which also seems like a good idea to outlaw), but that doesn’t mean there are currently any giraffes flying planes.
Your second source is conspiracy theory gobbledegook that doesn’t make much sense upon close reading, and doesn’t offer any actual proof that there are fetal cells in food.
The third source says nothing at all about fetal cells in food.
Finally, in the film Soylent Green, the world was critically overpopulated, and people could go to a special government-run place when they wanted to die, where they would be euthanized. The government then secretly turned their bodies into food to feed the hungry masses.
But none of the things in that movie currently are true, or even close to true. Overpopulation is not at critical levels, there are no governments that encourage their citizens to kill themselves, there are no governments that turn people into food (let alone fetuses).
