My thoughts exactly.

The movie depicts a future in which nourishment has become purely functional -- not by choice, but because food resources are so scarce. (And to top it off, the function is served by the worst "waste" imaginable).

Now, instead of food, the scarce resource seems to have become time.

I understand that Soylent serves a purpose to some, but I believe we should strive to move away from that dystopian nightmare, instead of succumbing to it.
