The only reason we are able to uphold our standard of living,
(and not starve), is because the third world is starving today.
It's that simple, we just pushed the problems of a too large
population over on third world countries, the results can be seen
today in the massive hunger catastrophies in other countries.
Eventually it will catch up to us though, it's like a tree
lighting setting it's roots on fire to stop from freezing to
death.
We *are* too many people today, but the answer is not in reducing
the population in Africa, but rather in Europe, US, Mexico and
Japan for instance.
