Lean Nations for Long Term Survival

After many years of observation and research, medical science has at last recognized obesity as a symptom of illness in the human body. For long term survival in a state of good health, they advocate that everyone should control their obesity to achieve a lean body. A nation which is overpopulated, can be compared to an obese human body. Just as a human being has to control his/her fatness for maintaining good health, a nation has to control its population size for the well-being of its subjects. A nation can be defined to be a LEAN NATION if its population is so small that its citizens do not have to live in cramped quarters, and it can leave plenty of space for nature to thrive on its own without being trampled by humans. Lean nations are best equipped for long term survival. Unfortunately, today there are very few nations which are still lean. If we want the Sanskrit blessing ``sarvE janaah sukhinO bhavaMtu (happy living for all of humanity)'' to materialize, it is very important to keep the human population low.
