On Love & Marriage

Source: Photopin

For better or worse, I often feel like an alien in my day-to-day life.  Rather than seeing things like someone that's been on this earth for nearly 30 years, I'm usually questioning what goes on around me.  

Why do people act like that?  Why do I think this?  (cue eyes looking directly at my navel). 

Call it curiosity.  Call it maladaptive.  Either way, it means I have a lot of thoughts in my head.

One of these such topics is marriage.

Could food be a thing of the past?

I'm only partially fluent in "nerd."  

Therefore, I just found out that Soylent, a Kickstarter project which promises to "free your body from food," derived its name from the sci-fi movie Soylent Green.

In the movie, it's 2022 (which, now isn't that far off), and the world has turned to shit.  

You've got the usually list of villains:

Overpopulation

Pollution

Poverty

Dying oceans

Depleted resources

Climate change

[Insert Al Gore speech]

Most people in this dystopian future survive on "Soylent Green" food rations, which are advertised as "high-energy plankton."  As the movie unfolds, you discover that Soylent Green is actually made from -- Corpses.

Well, luckily, the Kickstarter namesake is NOT made of corpses.  That's be weird.
