Babies Will Destroy Us

Normally I don't think about science, but today was one of those important exceptions that makes me realize we're doomed. This time, it's the babies who will destroy us.

Have any of you heard of conservation of matter? This implies that we will always have the same amount of matter on this earth. At first glance, it's true, but when viewed in light of all the babies, we're doomed.

You see, babies grow and end up having a much greater mass than the mass of all the food they eat. The ratio of baby mass to food mass by end of life is something like 5 to 1.

If this trend continues, the earth will collapse beneath the weight of our massive babies.

They're huge.
Not so cute anymore, are they?

And I used to think overpopulation would be our doom. Thank you, Dr. Robison, for bringing this to my attention. It is officially time to PANIC!!!
