Soylent Green is far too contaminated these days. Food chain toxin concentration tree. Most of the cans I have seen are stamped as "unfit for human consumption". (You can however use it as a low grade fuel outdoors in the manner of sterno. ) They recalled truckloads of the stuff recently from Costco, and it is banned for use as petfood in much of the lower 48.

That is why you get malaise when you lose a lot of weight fast, as the toxins dump into your blood when you lose fat. In fact trappers and taxidermists who deal in arsenic (they need touch and so the metal is absorbed thru their hands) are told to maintain their weight. While they can live rather healthily and a normal life span, if they are overweight and go on a "reverse--binge" (starvation diet), so much arsenic gets liberated they can die. Gov't tests them from time to time. I have read the warning literature. Such people if they have too many weight fluxuations can overload their liver and be subject to high cancer risk.

The amazing thing is their ability to live with such high concentrations of arsenic in their fat and not suffer ill effects. I do notice that taxidermists tend to have rather pasty skin.
