@Dimitri mx I don't know if its the one you were thinking of, still have to watch it again. Been looking for it for 5 years, found using the "human resource" trope http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HumanResources

<p>All I remember is watching an anime early in the morning on Sci-Fi channel. </p>

<p>I remember a scene of a young boy with a gun in a futuristic setting. He was watching a large conveyor belt with old androids and/or humans being dumped into a machine which turns them into supplement pills that everyone takes instead of eating.</p>

<p>It could have been a movie or an OVA, I'm not sure. Also, I am not sure when it aired on Sci-Fi, but it had to be anywhere from 2000-2006 and it was in English.</p>

Sounds like it could be one of those bizarre OVAs from the boom era like "Psychic Wars", "Venus Wars", "Vampire Wars", etc. Can't recall this particular scene, though.

Bizarre is a bit of an understatement, I dropped in just to ask "the f**k?".

I believe if seen something similar, where you could be upper class human, or lower class human. And you had to work your *ss of to earn i believe some sort of stamp. And the humans that did not work hard enough got turned into food pills to keep the other people alive

Supplement info on my previous comment. Acording to my colleague this scenario reminds him of a music video from a long time ago. With gorrilaz like animations.
