Researchers for the country of China have been experimenting with alternate food supplies. China has, for years, had difficulty feeding its people. After rejecting several food alternatives, the researchers are focusing on water. It seems that water is abundant in most places and it is no secret that the human body has a need for water. Picture this:
"Wife, what's for dinner?"
"Water."
"Again! Can't you do something to make it a little more tasty? It gets a bit bland having it meal after meal, day after day."
"I agree. I was thinking about trying to add some flavor. Mi Ling added dirt to hers last night to add spark, but said her family found it to have a gritty texture and the small rocks kept getting caught in their teeth."
"I saw some flowers, berries and leaves that may have potential."
"I thought of that too. Ling Ling has already tried a bunch of that stuff. It seems that their 'last meal' included berries which turned out to be poisonous."
"I would suggest catching mice or snakes or something like that, but I haven't seen any around since they put us on this water diet."
"I guess we should keep looking for something to add to the water, but for now, we seem to be stuck with same old, same old."
Results of the water diet have turned out to be live changing. China now boasts that they have overcome obesity in their population. Of course, the death rate has risen, however, that has a beneficial effect also. Population control has effectively been achieved. Top government officials have declared the research as "ground breaking". Amazing as it is, the government officials have declined to try the Water Diet.
