Well, it's called the Soylent System, but the basic premise is the same. Certainly, the part where Citan tells Fei and Elly about it is one of the game's more powerful moments.
To me that part actually felt kinda cheesy. Any blatant reference to an old movie comes off "cheesy" to me, not powerful. Like, if Fei suddenly said there's a monster on the arm of the Gear, I wouldn't find that frightening.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
