Mom had been to the grocery store and picked up a box of a new snack called Space Food Sticks. I tried one. It was green with a waxy texture. I thought, what the heck is this made out of? Looking at the ingredients on the box, I found that it was mainly soy protein. Of course everyone knows about soy beans now, but back then I (an Arizonan from coybow upbringing) had never heard of them prior to that evening, which made it all the more coincidentally creepy to be eating green soy protein right after seeing Soylent Green. Ah, the good 'ol days. Anyway, Charlton Heston, Edward G. Robinson, Leigh Taylor-Young, Chuck Conners, Joseph Cotten, etc... heck, it don't get no better than that.
