Are you saying that it's better for anyone to starve in his youth, to be shorter and to save "resources" when he becomes adult? This has to be the most short-sighted thing I've read in a long time. You should write a book explaining that theory: "Parents, malnourish your kids so they need to eat less in their adulthood". Maybe cutting a leg or an arm could save resources too: less body needs less food.
