Because, disturbingly, there is an actual product called Soylent, and this is news about it.

From The Verge:

Rosa Foods, announced Wednesday it has signed a deal to get Soylent in 450 of the big box stores across the US. Soylent CEO Bryan Crowley says the move is, "a significant step in providing more ways for consumers to get access to our brand." Walmart locations will stock the ready-to-drink bottles in "Cacao," "Vanilla Latte," and "Coffiest" flavors.

By the way, Soylent was only "people" in the movie. In the original book, "Make Room, Make Room" by Harry Harrison, Soylent was just vegetable matter. Leave it to Hollywood to screw a good SF story up. [ed.]

    We did the biggest Tax Cut in history. To create millions of jobs. But Walmart closed so many stores. They didn't call them Walmart, they called them Sam's Club. But it's Walmart. It's the elite Walmart. Let me tell you, that was a slap to my face. And to the faces of our hard-working Republicans in Congress. They closed 63 stores around our great Country. And in Puerto Rico.

    Walmart pays little or no taxes to state & local governments. And they're putting many thousands of retailers out of business.

    And now they're selling latte, the vanilla Soylent latte. The official food of the Democratic Party. It's not the official food. But it should be. Crooked Hillary was on their board (with John Tate, who said unions are nothing but blood-sucking parasites). I'm sure she's laughing right now. Like she laughed when her radical Islamic friends stabbed Colonel Gaddafi in the ass & he died. That VERY SCARY laugh of hers. And the coastal elites and global special interests are laughing with her. At the "carnage." Sad!
