Well the choice was let your children die of starvation or farm more land. I know which one I would have taken.

- evincarofautumn 11y agoYeah, but unfortunately we didn’t account for the fundamental rule of ecology: more food, more population. The world population grows every year because we produce more food every year. Food is what the new people are made of. Somewhat counterintuitively, this is perfectly compatible with the continued existence of starving people.
- JoeAltmaier 11y agoThat's nonsense. Feeding people doesn't make them have children. IT keeps them from dying of starvation.
- goldenkey 11y agoIncreasing food production causes increases in population. It causes more people to starve because it is ultimately unsustainable.
