Zone1 The global hunger crisis is directly linked to unprotected sex in third world countries. Prove me wrong.

I've brought up this subject a few times since I joined and I usually get lots of hysterical replies from bleeding hearts who don't think very well. But I want to bring it up again since the world's population grew by over 1 billion JUST IN THE LAST TEN YEARS. What is much much worse is that over half of that population growth occurred in the poorest countries in the world.

There are dozens of so called humanitarian organizations who provide food, water and health services. The only one that I've found that addresses population control is:

UNFPA (United Nations Population Fund): This is the UN agency dedicated to sexual and reproductive health. They promote and fund family planning, including male and female sterilization, in developing countries and frequently partner with local clinics to run voluntary vasectomy campaigns.

There still seems to be a stigma about this and I don't understand why. How can these poor desperate people be wanting to bring kids into their Hellish world? Is that not child abuse? Many of these kids never know anything but burning hunger and pain before they die. The leading nations of the world need to get over the stigma and start taking action.

You haven't provided a single source, which makes me think your thread won't last long.

People facing extreme adversity or poverty continue to have children due to a combination of deeply rooted biological drives, structural limitations, cultural norms, and psychological resilience. While onlookers viewing a crisis from the outside may see bringing life into a harsh environment as reckless, the families living through it often operate under entirely different survival dynamics, social structures, and emotional realities. [1, 2]

 

[TemplarKormac]

I would agree. Wear a condom. Take contraceptives. Abstinence.

Then there won't be any starving children you can't feed.

A better description of those dynamics might be helpful here.

Yes, Elon Musk conditionally offered to provide $6 billion to end world hunger in late 2021, but the transaction did not ultimately happen.

I mean, the offer still stands. No mention of him rescinding it.

He's got too many loose kids running around already.

Being a multi-TRILLIONaire, he's got more than enough money to feed them. That argument is invalid.

Unless you view it in the morality lens. You remember what that is.

Well that's where forgiveness comes in.

Humanitarian Relief Organizations focus on feeding them and do little if anything to help prevent the root cause of the problem. IMO those organizations MUST provide not just condoms but sterilization services along with relief aid.

Sure. Sterilization as a last resort. You still want to propagate the species, just under ideal circumstances.

Certainly not mandatory, but along with the food and rellief services, educate them and offer sterilization. Those poor kids are victims just as much as immigrant kids who are trafficked for labor or sex.

Agreed.

Yeah, fascinating reply to a fascinating OP.

Not.

The 'free food' aid actually harms many of those countries, making it unprofitable to engage in anything but bare subsistence farming.

Famines these days are purely products of political corruption; ag techniques are fairly highly developed even for desert regions, and there is no real excuse for it, and even more so for birth control, an even more important cause, again related to political and cultural failings to accept reality.

The US also needs to accept reality and stop stripping off its topsoil to feed 'everybody else'; fertility is not infinite, no matter how much expensive fertilizer gets dumped on soils.

Since corrupt left wing regimes are responsible for over 90% of the failures, they need to pretend it doesn't exist.

There's always a hunger crisis somewhere.
