Pretty much. Megacities literally have "meatwagons" to take corpses off to be recycled for meat. Either that, or they're used for fertilizer to make food.
This movie got the character of Dredd right but got Megacity One all wrong (likely due to the small budget). The 1995 Stallone movie got the Dredd character all wrong but got the scale and the level of technology of Megacity One right.
true, but I think that kind of stylization that we saw in the 95 film tends to push what would otherwise be a gritty film into a campy film as we saw with the 95 one. Its not that it should be campy but the medium of cinema, pushes that kind of stylization into the world of camp. The uniform is another example of that. Technically (at least based on the comics of the time) the 95 judge uniform is actually close. What causes that film so many issues is the dissonance of the film (is it suppose to come off as a comedy? because it is... kind of hard to avoid once you cast Rob Schneider in a main role) which this film avoids with Dredd only getting a couple cold lines of bitter sarcasm, (which I read more as a mental reflex, then attempt at humor). 'No i was saying 'wait', so she could shoot you.' And of course the ego the lead. (which, I get you hired Stalloine are you not going to show his face?) This film had the inverse, it sounds like Urban had a clear 'if you tell me to take off the helmet, I am walking' mentality to Dredd stating he had in the helmet a note for himself 'grimace harder'.
Post-Apocalyptic settings are interesting sociologically because; if you have technology handling most of your daily life, and your faith in long-term humanity is diminished because humanity had shown it was so self-destructive that it chose it's own suicide, then what's the point in making strides. Let's just get drugged out and go to the fighting pits. But I guess how's that different than today. The flames of innovation and curiosity of the future must be stoked. Not because we fear death, but because this Universe and nature is so infinitely interesting and holds many mysteries to be unlocked.
I have a morbid fascination with this place. I wanna go there. I want it to be build: gargantuan bindings and population, pollution too. Isn't that sick of me. Anyway, I can imagine it and watch the media on it.

There’s actually a theory that the human population will plateau around 2100 due to the slowly declining birth rate reaching a point where it matches the death rate. So basically, unless there’s another baby boom (which is very unlikely seeing as how the younger generations are straying away from having multiple children) the birth rate will just keep dropping until it matches the death rate and the human population will top out and stop growing.
@@jlim9411 Was just reading how China started allowing 3 children to a family but it would seem the majority are saying they have no plans to have that many due to the conditions, so-so health care(which would seem to be better than the US's in some ways), food supply, etc. Wish more folks used more foresight before deciding they needed to have as many kids as possible.

Is the "Recycled Protein" the same thing as Soylent Green?

Pretty much. Megacities literally have "meatwagons" to take corpses off to be recycled for meat. Either that, or they're used for fertilizer to make food.
