SoylentNews is people

A Swedish behavioral scientist has suggested that it may be necessary to turn to cannibalism and start eating humans in order to save the planet.

Appearing on Swedish television to talk about an event based around the "food of the future," Magnus Söderlund said he would be holding seminars on the necessity of consuming human flesh in order to stop climate change.

Environmentalists blame the meat and farming industry for a large part of what they claim is the warming of the earth.

According to Söderlund, a potential fix would be the Soylent Green-solution of eating dead bodies instead.

[Ed note: At first I was going to give this story a pass and then, well... this site is called SoylentNews said name being tangentially related to Soylent Green and the tag line is: "SoylentNews is people", so it only goes to follow that you are what you eat, right? Feel free to comment seriously, but I'm quite frankly more interested in what kind of fun the community can have with this story! Some jokes just write themselves. --martyb]

    It was an American beer commercial gimmick, none of the women were even Swedish or about as Swedish as the Swedish Chef on the Muppet Show. Which I guess was perhaps more Swedish then them since he was at least based upon a real Swedish chef compared to some blond bimbo stereotype.

      Wait a minute, I thought blonde, big boobed bimbos were THE Swedish stereotype.

        Sure, that just doesn't make them Swedish tho -- unless you want to count all blond females with larger the average breasts as being Swedish.
