No, definitely not that, which I've heard of but not seen. For one thing, I just checked, and Soylent Green came out in 1973. This was a short story I read no later than the early 1960's. There was nothing in it about where the synthetics came from; just about how selling or buying natural food was illegal -- because, if I remember this correctly, it was grown in the *dirt*, yuck! -- The more I think about it, the more I think it may have had to do with the raw milk issue, rather than just being a satire on how drug laws were set up. I don't think I even knew at the time that raw milk was becoming illegal; but I suspect the time period for that was about the same. (Maybe not; I just tried looking this up and apparently this has been an issue for most of the 20th century; the Illinois supreme court heard a case on the issue of regulations banning raw milk in 1914. -- In the process of looking this up, I also discovered that raw milk sales are currently legal in 28 states in the USA. I don't know whether this includes New York, where such sales are so restricted as to be very nearly illegal in practice.) (Apparently I can't even blather along about fiction without stopping to do research. If I'm not careful, I won't get anything done today but email.)
