Global Malnutrition Solved

There is hardly a place on the planet that has not affected with malnutrition, such that malnutrition is a global concern, including America. This is a problem that needs to be addressed, because having healthy bodies is important. This should be treated as a drug epidemic, as it is a reason that I believe is one of the causes to the USA being left behind among the first world nations.

The resources are available to the USA, and many other countries to harvest, but it will require smart implementation, and probably the only corporation that will implement a solution would be government.

So, how do we do this? On a massive scale, we should harvest the soil debris of the ocean floor,

and then make farms from that soil.

dump the soil on preexistent farms,

and richly cover parts of deserts, making them farmland with rich soil, budgeting it such that there are still plenty of desert habitats.


I prefer to do this sooner, rather than later in the USA, because I prefer food that is rich in nutrients. Who knows, maybe if people get nutritious food it may help control diseases such as depression;0

Collegiate Sports Majors Instead of Traditional Majors Where One Also Plays Sports


I understand that some people prefer to play sports in addition to their major, and I am not knocking that.  What I am seeking is for universities to recognize collegiate level sports as a major, such that graduation from such a program results in say a Bachelors Degree in Baseball.
Let’s face it, African Americans often find school difficult, but it seems to everyone that there are other ways of measuring intelligence other than IQ, and even the various standard assessments that I am aware of today.  For example, one person might be calculating the mathematical way to hit a 3 pointer in a basket ball game, while someone else might be entirely able to put the ball in the bucket and get the job done.  In that way, including sports as majors will no doubt help the Africa American community.
My radical suggestion would be to make collegiate sports to be a major.  For example, majoring in sports would mean that someone could choose basketball or baseball or even football as a major.  This is as opposed to traditional majors, such as biology, French, and engineering.
There are several reasons for this, but one of the greatest is my hope to inspire young athletes at the grade school to pursue health and wellness for a lifetime.  The problem is that America is getting fat, and that much needs to change or else there will be consequences to our poor eating habits.
The evidence is out there that putting sports on the television does not help folks, but I would beg to disagree.  Those polled were probably adults.  When I was in elementary school, nearly every kid playing squirts wanted to be a professional ball player.  And, though while we should not have delusions of grandeur that we are better than we really are, I believe that professional sports inspires youngsters to exercise.  That much is good for our bodies, and I believe that will translate into a strong America.
One of the major faults of America is that we need to focus more on sports more at the minor league level.  Our minor leaguers should be an inspiration for our youth.  I am lucky to live on Cape Cod where we have the Cape Cod Baseball League, CCBL, which is really at about the AA level.  When our local kids watch these players, many of which are headed for the big league, I indeed feel that it is inspirational to the youth, especially since so many kids can’t afford to attend major league sports.  The minor leagues are very affordable for almost anyone.  Likewise, I feel that broadening the scope of professional sports to include enough teams such that it would make sense for a student to attend College primarily for the aspect of achieving a degree in sports is beneficial to America.
