You have excellent taste, my friend! The Twilight Zone was one tremendous series.

To Serve Man
"A race of aliens known as the Kanamits land on Earth and promise to be nothing but helpful to the cause of humanity. Initially wary of the intentions of such a highly advanced race, even the most skeptical humans are convinced when their code-breakers begin to translate one of the Kanamit's books, with the seemingly innocuous title, 'To Serve Man.'
Sharing their advanced technology, the aliens quickly solve all of Earth's greatest woes, eradicating hunger, disease, and the need for warfare. Soon, humans are volunteering for trips to the Kanamits' home planet, which is supposedly a paradise.
All is not well, however, when a code-breaker discovers the Kanamits' [Obamiats] true intentions: Their book, 'To Serve Man', is a cookbook, and all their gifts were simply to make humanity complacent, much like fattening pigs or cows before they are slaughtered."

I remember that TZ episode. The title was "TO SERVE MAN". Sure was spooky. Great analogy to current events.
