So why are the plurbs maintaining existing body types?
Back when the “individual who was John Cena” was explaining HDP, they said JC needed about 8 containers of 300 calories for intake per day of HDP. Now granted this is very early in the show, I think it hasn’t even been 2 weeks since the merging. But by time we see Carol beg for the hive to come back, it has been about 2ish months.
So by then, if the plurbs are having a “food crisis” that will supposedly kill them over the next 10 years, why maintain people with heavier set body types? Of course there will be instances where you may need a strong person to lift something, but being a mass consciousness surely they could come together to either;
A: use several Individuals to lift an object.
Or
B: use machinery which they’re all just adept at.
A counter argument can be made for those who are lithe or uncharacteristically thin. Sure a nimble person is good for right to reach spaces, but assumedly they are going to now have those people eat more for the sake of the collective.
Seems like we should be seeing a lot of collective weight loss and weight gain until almost everyone is a uniform body type as that would maximize their food supply.
So by the current time we are at in the show. I would think the individual who was John cena has deflated his muscle mass a decent amount as trying to maintain his current size means less food for the collective as a whole.
Now obviously for show reasons they can’t hire a bunch of actors to all be the same body type or go through dramatic weight changes. Just seems like was something to discuss between Carol and whomever. We know the bodies still need rest after all, so it’s a surprise they don’t all maximize their body efficacy with cardio exercises as well
