Dr. Kim Zussman on BMI
Body mass-index increase is cause (or effect) of increasing affluence of modern civilization. Species success should result in increased fecundity.
Then why is the sexually idealized physique de femme thin-tail-low, to the point of infertility or worse?
All this reminds me of Dr. Strangelove’s plan for post-nuclear war survival which involved living underground with a 10:1 female-to-male ratio!
General “Buck” Turgidson: Doctor, you mentioned the ratio of ten women to each man. Now, wouldn’t that necessitate the abandonment of the so-called monogamous sexual relationship, I mean, as far as men were concerned?
Dr. Strangelove: Regrettably, yes. But it is, you know, a sacrifice required for the future of the human race. I hasten to add that since each man will be required to do prodigious … service along these lines, the women will have to be selected for their sexual characteristics which will have to be of a highly stimulating nature.
Ambassador de Sadesky: I must confess, you have an astonishingly good idea there, Doctor.
