'Soylent Green Is (Fat) People!'

By on 4.21.09 @ 12:34AM

Now that British scientists are blaming fat people for global warming, I've never been so proud to be skinny. Allahpundit has a Swiftian modest proposal:

If we can figure out a recipe for soylent green, we can solve this whole problem. Dibs on the 200-pounders.

Note the "if" that begins that quote. It's another hypothetical, folks, so don't be upset. We're not actually planning on eating fat people. At least not in the short term. By the way, have you noticed that Al Gore's looking kind of pudgy lately?
