One of my favourite experiences in Bangkok was buying freshly made tofu at about 3am, as I lived a stones throw from the central wet market.
Imagine my shock when a fitness fanatic friend informed me soy is one of the most unhealthy foods for endocrine disruptors or something like that.
I'm not sure when I learned a soy-themed movie existed, but with a name like Soylent I was immediately intrigued.
It's set in 2022, so it has nothing to do with now, but I noticed some themes in the movie, like food and land ownership metrics, and later on founded-out some quite dramatic stuff about the character, I think called Sol and played thought-provokingly by Edward G. Robinson.
Another theme I noticed was masks, but the movie is set in 2022 so it has nothing to do with this and last years' muzzles, but the main food is sold by a corporation that own's half the land. Does that sound familiar?
The screenplay is about 50% right according to the author who I suspect had his work stolen from him.
Update and spoiler. The movie's main thrust has become reality.
