Make Humans Smaller - They Will Eat Less!

If the human race continues to populate the planet at the exorbitant rate and exponential growth then we will eventually over tax our eco-system and environment and cause ourselves great harm. Currently over one billion people live in urban slums and do not have enough to eat. There are over 2 billion people with not enough water and a too are starving. Still the number of people being born each day is astronomical.

Either humans need to stop breeding like rats or they need to consume less food and minimize their impact on the environment; why not do both. Humans need a sustainable Earth if they plan on living on the surface of it. Recently our online think tank took-up this discussion and tried to look for a long-term solution.

It may be possible over several generations to have humans become smaller. The average height of an American male is about 5'7" but if that was only 4' then they would require much less food. Humans do not have to be as large as they are they already rule the surface of the planet and our technology is keeping us at the top of the food chain.

There are no saber tooth tigers to eat humans anymore so it does not matter if they are 6 foot tall or 4 foot tall. There are many people who do not like the idea of genetic modification of humans, although if we can change only one gene to create smaller humans that would be a very smart way to minimize our impact on the environment.

Still we should consider a better plan for population control even if we shrink in size. I certainly hope this article is of interest and that is has propelled thought. The goal is simple; to help you in your quest to be the best in 2007. I thank you for reading my many articles on diverse subjects, which interest you.
