Can we just turn off those "lazy/slacking" mechanisms on genome/cell level? A pill will be nice.
Make your organism always maintain optimal muscles and circulation system while burning a lot of calories? Seems like a win/win to me.
Some people are strong and healthy without excersice, I think we are all entitled to same package?
I had PE in University (and before that school), hated it and now I'm turned off from any excercise.
- sliverstorm 10y agoCould be upsides to that, but cranking up the global food requirements (remember, a muscular body requires a lot more energy to maintain) would be a negative. Also, what's optimal? Your body adapts to what you are doing, something we take for granted today. E.g. If you like bicycling, a permanent linebacker build may be undesirable. It would probably be more ideal to set some kind of fitness "floor", rather than remove the mechanism completely.
- guard-of-terra 10y agoMost people already eat much more than they need, might as well make use of those calories. Of course there should be a "floor", we don't want to grow into blobs of slithering muscles and veins, just well-built.
