I think I have a solution, how about they bump off everyone 55+ and make bickies or something from us to feed the youngings. Wasn't that a movie with C.Heston, solent green or something 
Brave New World by Aldous Huxley where they knock you off before you get old.
My Generation by the Who where you "hope to die before you grow old", ha, only Entwisle and Moon took that advice.
