Perfect answer to 6 decimal places.

If we are to assume a gram of protein per kilogram of body weight, then a 100-ton giant will need approximately 91 kilograms (200 pounds) of protein per day. How many Chinese people will we need to eat in order to hit this vital macronutrient?
An average Chinese man is about 150 pounds, and contains sixty-seven pounds of skeletal muscle and 30 pounds of adipose tissue, which would supply our giant with 9500 grams of protein and about 13,000 grams of fat. This alone would supply our giant with 155,000 calories, but we must add in the nutrients found in the organs and bones (which only the most fastidious of giants would avoid), and we’re talking nearly 200,000 calories.
So ten or eleven good-sized Chinese men per day ought to do it. This will put daily caloric intake right at 2 million calories, which is equivalent to that of your average blue whale.
Many giants will opt to eat their Chinese people raw, which I would not recommend, on account of parasites and other food-borne pathogens. Roasting or baking are the preferred method of preparation, although some giants prefer to stir-fry their Chinese people in peanut oil and sesame seeds, adding a bit of soy-sauce and horseradish before serving.

If you were bulking I’d say eat Samoans or Walmart people. The extra saturated fat is good for increasing Testosterone production.
But for quickest lean muscle gains, you should exclusively eat people from the Dominican Republic. They are higher in omega-3 fatty acids.

Go with Samoans. Don’t even want to think about all the additives and other crap in the bodies of Walmart people. Avoid such heavily processed food where possible.
The benefit of Walmart people is that they’re a great convenience food. Easy to find and there’s no way they’ll be able to escape on those little scooter things. A cheat meal is okay once in awhile.

“Original Monster Manuel” ha. Young people. (There is actually a version before the one pictured; it was a set of four paperback books. As video games were not permitted and outside play limited during big swaths of time due to military action, D&D is what Israeli kids did in the 70s during the Sabath when their parents were not paying attention.)

Peanut oil, sesame seeds, soy sauce… and horseradish? Who does that? I can’t place the cuisine. Japanese? It’s the horseradish that throws me.

Communist bureaucrats in the US eat too much soy. Decrease your T right there. Maybe grind them up and make miso soup now and again?

Ah, I meant the ones in China. Who also eat plenty of soy, but more fermented soy.
I suppose you could make something like a fish sauce or oyster sauce out of them though. Some nice rich seasoning with concentrated vitamins and minerals.

That reminds me, toilets are too low for anyone approach 7’, such that your knees are higher than your ass when sitting, unless you build about a 6" platform to sit the toilet on, so your feet can be on a step below.
It’s very interesting after a leg workout trying to get up, or sit in a controlled manner.
I’ve done the platform thing in my house after learning about how NBA players modify their houses.* Now everyone complains that their feet don’t touch the ground when they shit at my house. I tell them to go shit in the woods, then.

I had a very difficult time with the theory behind how much a giant of a certain height would reasonably weigh given a normal person’s proportions. BMI starts breaking down very quickly before you really even hit the 7 foot mark. So I’m really unsure of exactly how tall I would need to be.
Anyway I can tell you I would want to weigh at least 20,000lbs. I estimate that my height would need to be at least 30ft, but as I said, I had trouble with the mathematics of my answer.
Regardless, in this way I would be the most powerful terrestrial organism alive today. Things such as hippos, rhinos, and elephants would be to me as dogs are now.[/quote]
Simply preserving proportionalities, a 30 foot person is 5 times taller than a 6 foot man. Since mass is related to volume, you would expect him to weigh 125 times more (5 cubed). So if the average 6 foot man is 200lbs, a 30 foot man would be 25000lbs.
However, proportionalities don’t work because your bones would be crushed for the same reason that a spider would crush itself if blown up to human size. Basically, the strength of your bones and muscles is proportional to their cross sectional area while their mass is proportional to their volume. So, basically you would need legs, arms, and a torso that would be proportionally thicker just to remain functional. So to account for the difference between volume and area, you’d probably have to increase that 125 multiplier to the power of 3/2. So a 30 foot human would probably be about 1400 times heavier than a 6 foot human or about 280,000 lbs.
So doing the math, if our model is a 6 foot 200 lb human, you would only need to be about 16.7 feet tall in order to weigh 20,000 lbs. That’s all theoretical but, for reference, African elephants stand up to 13 feet tall and weigh up to 15,000 lbs. Elephants are quadripeds, so giants would be expected to be a little more vertical. Your core and legs have to be really thick to support all of that mass, so you’re going to be huge. If you don’t like the image of a blob, you could also imagine that your bones and muscles are just much denser than an average human so proportionally you look the same. As far as elephants being dog sized, at 17 feet you’re already pretty much there with the biggest elephants being smaller and lighter than you. [/quote]
280,000 lbs just sounds like it can’t possibly be correct. That’s double the mass of all but the absolute largest sauropods ever. It could be totally possible and I’m just woefully understating the girth increase that a man would undergo to become 30ft tall.
I’ve actually been to the Giants of the Mesozoic exhibit at the museum in Atlanta, so I’ve seen the (estimated) restoration of the Argentinosaurus skeleton, even knowing that the proposed human would be significantly taller(by 7 or so feet), I just can’t imagine anything more massive on the whole.[/quote]
It’s an extrapolation that probably breaks down when talking about a giant 5-6 times bigger than the average human. The human proportions would obviously cease to work at 30 feet tall because your legs would probably be wider than they would be long. If you instead just assume that giants have much denser bones and muscles (which are accordingly much stronger), then it might work.
280,000 lbs may be on the high side, but the problem really becomes that we run out of terrestrial beings to compare with. A 3 story structure is probably going to weigh a couple hundred thousand pounds, and it will be about 30 feet tall. Overall, the point is that in order to get taller, your support structures grow in either size or strength more quickly than you grow in height. I still think that if you want to be 20,000 lbs, 15-20 feet is probably a reasonable height target.

Actually, it is. The word panglossia literally would mean “all languages”.
The original Dr. Pangloss was a character in a Voltaire novel, Candide, whose motto was “all is for the best in the best of all possible worlds”. He was, in other words, an irrepressible optimist. This trait he does not necessarily share in common with our Dr. Pangloss here.
