Overpopulation is not caused by an increase in medical technology

It Is Caused By Our Consuming Too Much!

Overpopulation is not because fewer people are dying.

Overpopulation is because people choose to have more children.

It is a choice.

Historically, the human population rose when the food supply increased.

When people had plenty, they chose to bring more people into the world because they knew they would have food for everyone.

The modern world has an overabundance of food.

Even our poor overeat and get fat.

That's why there is a problem with overpopulation- the modern world is swimming in food. The modern world has an overabundance of food.

And people don't realize that all that food comes at a cost- that we are straining the poor Earth's resources to produce that overabundance of food.

In many first world countries people know the cost of that overconsumption.

They see the ugly industrial world all around them. They are educated. They know what we are doing to the planet.

In first world countries the population growth stops.

Japan has no population growth. America only has population growth through immigration. Europe has no population growth.

It is not an inevitable result of increased medical technology.

It is a choice- a choice we can change.

A choice that is a result of our seeming overabundance of food because we are consuming too much!

Don't give in to fear- it is a choice! Not an inevitable result!

All we have to do is chose to have fewer children!

Sincerely,

David S. Annderson
