The article never came right out and pondered the global impact of the CR diet becoming widespread in America. It did compare the CR diet to those of sub-Saharan Africans, but that was about it. My thoughts on it were that if American's stopped eating so much we would probably just stop making so much food instead of feeding the rest of the world. Although we probably wouldn't reduce our farm subsidies so we would have a Midwest full of people being paid to not grow corn for the durn foreigners.
Maybe if the 100 dollar laptop program comes to fruition, all those people in Africa who are already living on starvation diets will have access to the software they need to maximize their nutrient intake, and transhumanism will first be achieved by ancient and immortal Africans!
