I just wanted to contribute an interesting bit of science.
It's been shown that women's breasts are getting larger every generation and puberty is starting earlier. A lot of people will insist this is due to:

A) bovine hormones,
B) weight gain,
C) some other sign of the apocalypse,

when in reality, it's merely small-scale human evolution. Women's breasts are increasing in size specially because women with large breasts statistically have more sex. Mammary tissue grows all throughout puberty, so the most efficient way of developing larger breasts is to extend puberty. Extending it to end later would infringe on the age of reproductive maturity, so instead nature has selected those who begin slightly earlier.


Furthermore, this is also the reason men are getting taller. But since men can reproduce as soon as they hit puberty, maturation tends to end later (confirming the theory that young men are just a bit less mature than women).

Bottom line: Sexy people have more sex!

The future of human evolution - barring the chavs and hillbillies who mate like rabbits - looks hot.

Sure, just whip 'em out at a pub.

I'm racking my brain for a downside of breasts getting bigger.


Anyone?

sore backs?
I find the main problem is actually that those who make clothes aren't keeping up with the trend - clothes tend to fit me perfectly everywhere except around the bust :/

(Then again, I also find it hard to buy shoes that fit so they're just slow all around)

RACKing your brain?
Have a spang for appalling punnage.

Sagging.
At age 32, my B-cups are still exactly where they were a decade ago, perfectly perky and frequently enjoyed by my husband. My sister's DD-cups are fast on their way to her waist and can only be kept in place by rather complicated-looking undergarments while I get sexy little lacy things.

The usual theory
says that all those things can be attributed more easily to better nutrition.

This is supported by looking at places like China (and comparing people in cities to rural areas) and comparing North and South Korea to each other (South Koreans are much taller and they're the ones who get to eat properly).

That theory is also less depressing than yours, because it means that these things will happen despite hideous chavs breeding like rabbits. :)

Interesting,
I always like to find little random bits of evolution happening. I trust this has a peer reviewed publication to go along with it :P
