Soilent Green is a protien. It also comes in the colors of orange and blue. This could be one of the inside jokes that JW also uses.

We got you partially surrounded.

I guess the cat is out of the bag. Dr Atkins is not really dead. He placed himself in cryogenic sleep w/ instruction to be awakened in 2500 A.D. By then his diet empire will have absorbed Pepsi, Coca Cola, Nabisco, Phillip Morris, and Reynolds Metals. The new mega corp will be known as Blue Sun w/ a cyborg Dr Atkins as CEO and emperor for all time.

I do think that the "protein" they keep referring to is some sort of mix of food items that are used as basic sustenance for the planets out on the rim. It is probably used so often because it is easier to transport, is non-perishable, and cheaper than standard food stores.

Actually, if you have a reasonably high-gluten flour it's good for yeast bread to put some soy flour in it. You can't make yeast bread with *just* soy flour though.

It's also possible that for cultural reasons they seldom have bread because a meal consists of rice plus whatever else is available--the Protein gets mentioned but the rice doesn't because it's assumed.

"Sloppy Joe in Wonderbread" I think not. If it tasted like that, it's pretty crappy stuff you had.

Bao is not a dumpling, but a sweet roll made out of rice flour wrapped in some *stuff*. In "Char-Siu" Bao, you put the sweet roast pork in there. The Bao is usually steamed and is mighty delicious when eaten hot. They can also be baked into a golden brown crust.

There are varieties of fillings for Bao, some Bao are filled with chicken, vegetables, sweet egg custard, sweet cream, red bean paste, or lotus seed paste. Sometimes Bao are just plain and is good that way as well...

In Hawaii, the Bao took on a new life and the locals name it "Manapua" really a shortened form for "Manapua'a" meaning tasty bits of pork.

The Wall Street Journal advertising column for June 9 has a reader's question "Who or what is solae? I keep seeing the name in ads" and the answer is "It may sound a lot like Soylent Green, the mysterious foodstuff made from people in the 1973 film of the same name, but solae, my friend, is simply soy protein, or, according to press materials,"a high-quality, complete, plant-based protein ingredient that is fat and cholesterol free."
