There’s a show about this. The Promised Neverland. [Redacted] raise children on farms and educate them because apparently, smarter ones taste better, but the taste drops at puberty, so they’re given 12 years max before they’re “harvested.” Saying puberty, it sounds perverse, but there’s no perverted element whatsoever to the show. It’s just straight up horror.
The show is available (at least) in both English and Japanese. There’s a film (on Amazon Prime) that is in Japanese. I’m not sure if it got an English translation. It’s better than one might expect. At one point, Amazon was going to make an English version of the film (based on the manga, not based on the existing movie) but it never happened.
Minor spoiler: they don’t care about race or gender, only IQ. The smartest ones go to the richest [Redacted], but commoners can typically get the “average” kids. Damn. That sounds Epstein as hell. It really isn’t. They’re strictly being raised as food, as cattle. (That, in and of itself, is a minor spoiler, but it’s revealed in the first episode.)
I like how you defend it multiple times. Guys this fictional dystopian story about human children raised like cattle to be harvested isn’t as bad as our reality where they’re sex trafficked to billionaires, I swear. Just some lighthearted horror sitcom. Look they put up a big seasoning box so the kids can play with that instead of sand. Ha, they keep sneezing. How cute.
Yeah, it’s actually a good show. Maybe give it a shot rather than shooting the messenger? Skip the second season though, it’s kind of a train wreck. (Long story short, they crammed about five seasons’ worth of content into one to satisfy contractual obligations. That said, the first season stands on its own well enough. If nothing else, pick up the manga from there and get the full story.)

Oh God, now I’m just having horrifying thoughts about a sandbox filled with Tony Chachere’s.
That shit is like the super sneezing powder from Psychonauts.
