The Myth of Overpopulation
I've heard some of these arguments before.
I've long believed the issue is not overpopulation. It's a combination of things, including the the misuse of resources. We could produce enough food to feed the people of the world, but the quest for profits leads to the raising of cash crops rather than food crops. In some regions, for example, the farms (owned by the wealthy and large corporations) grow sugar to feed the sweet toothes of first world people instead of growing food to feed their own people. I saw this first-hand in Haiti.
