I thought that I would post this very random little thought, after reading a post about how kool it would be if there was a magic pill that just gave us the right amount of food and we could choose the weight we wanna be.
So I was thinkin, if we didnt have food, there wouldnt be people worring about their weight, or even people having diseases and dieing because they are eating too little or too much food. But then it occured to me, if we didnt have food, we wouldnt have restaronts or places to eat out, therefore social life would fall dramatically, and plus a huge amount of people infact do like eating the right amount of food, and enjoy the tastes and textures and feeling of food- and generally DO want to eat.
So I thought of a world where there was still the same amount of food that there is now, but when you ate it, you didnt put on weight, and if you didnt eat you didnt loose weight, everyone was exactly the same weight and therefore no one cared. But then of course I thought - well - when you eat there must be something that happens - so I thought - well - imagine if you when ate you became taller. Can you imagine that? instead of growing outwards when we eat (like we do now) we could just grow upwards.
But then I thought - if we grew upwards there would be loadsa really tall people going around, so we would have to change the height of doors and buildings. But then we wouldnt know any different if it had always been like that.
But then it struck me, if when we ate we grew taller, instead of wanting to be skinner all the time, would we want to be shorter? would we have websites on diets to make us shorter (instead of skinner)? would people not want to be tall as we dont want to be fat? and would people want to be short as we want to be skinny? Would there be diseases where people got far too short or far to tall?
It just amazed me how one thing that seemed so good if it could be true, like growing upwards instead of outwards, became so stupid to think of, because nothing would change, as no one would know anydifferent, and all these problems would still occur.
I dont really know why Im posting this, it was just an idea which popped into my head. Hope it atleast makes ya giggle a little. I dunno!
Hope everyone is ok
