Soylent Green is people!

A number of years ago, Fuddruckers opened a restaurant in the town to the north of us...and on their wall, they had a poster that read:
By the People.
For the People.
Mike and I looked at the poster, looked at each other, and exclaimed, "OF the People???"

It was a Soylent Green moment.

Fuddruckers has remodeled in the last few months, and the poster is now gone (after 10+ years of being proudly displayed).

Now, Fuddruckers is running a new campaign, featuring burgers made of ostrich, elk, wild boar, and buffalo (well, bison). And the tag line of the campaign -- proving that some companies just don't seem to think the way we do -- is "Are YOU game?"

It is *another* Soylent Green moment.

Knowing Fuddruckers, I suspect it's intentional.

I haven't been to a Fuddruckers in ages, and I see there are now four in Massachusetts!

The burgers are good...but now I do find myself wondering where the meat comes from...
