Like a human body has maybe 2 years worth of calories

I thought it was closer to 1 year. In any case it's something of that magnitude. That's been a trope in Hollywood for a long time. Soylent Green (1973) has the same "eat people" thing. It would mean every 1 of 2 years, one half of the population would have to eat the other half.
