There is more food and it is more available to more people than any time in human history. Overpopulation is a myth that was debunked 40 years ago.
Are you a moron, or just a liar. (Maybe you're both!)
He is absolutely correct.
"The entire world population could fit in the state of Texas and it’d only have the population density of New York City!
There are 6.8 billion people on Earth. Calculations show that if we wanted to make everyone in Earth live on a space that had the same population density as New York City, we could fit everyone in about 666,265 square kilometers, which is less than the size of Texas!.
Not only does that leave the other 49 United States open, but it leaves all the other countries clear and open, too. So, it is pretty safe to say that we have enough space, the entire world except Texas, to farm and ranch for our food supply.
Would water be a problem, though? It's calculated that we need 350 billion liters of water per day to properly hydrate 6.8 billion people. It seems like a lot, but the Columbia River alone could produce that amount in less than a day.
By the way, the Columbia River is the U.S.’s fourth largest river. So, again, that leaves the rest of the world’s water supply open and ready to serve. So, we’re not really overpopulated." The entire world population could fit in the state of Texas and it d only have the population density of New York City - OMG Facts - The World s 1 Fact Source
Even "if" what you say about the texas thing is true, who in the hell would want to live in a place like that. Also, you have probably heard of the "heat island" effect that cities have. There is no telling what a texas sized city would do.
There is another point that blows the hell out of your idea. Which is that even with people being spread out as they are, the ecological system is collapsing! And as things now stand, every day about 21,000 people starve to death or died from problems caused by lack of food. I have said heard some idiots say that the problem isn't a lack of food. It's that many people can't afford it. But if food was plentiful, it wouldn't be expensive.
Another thing is that I have seen the overcrowded conditions in places like China and India. Like it or not, that many people is an obscenity! I guess what Milton said was true. People have the ability to make a heaven out of hell or a hell out of heaven.

Well, the initial calculation was done by Thomas Sowell in 1984, when the world's population was 4.4 billion.http://www.carlopelanda.com/econaut/...n%20Growth.htm
Quote:
In 1984, it was proven by the economist Thomas Sowell that the entire world population (4.4 billion at the time) could live comfortably in the state of Texas. He wrote “Every human being on the face of the Earth could be housed in the state of Texas in one-story, single-family homes, each with a front and a back yard. A family of four would thus have 6,800 square feet- about the size of the typical middle-class American home with front and backyards.”(Carter 99) According to more recent research on the topic, all of the world’s 1997 population (5.84 billion) could fit on the small Island of Bali in Indonesia.(Stiefel 98)
According to latest calculations, if we assume a world population of 6.7 billion, all the people in the world could fit into Texas and occupy an area of ~1,118 sq. ft. each.
To recap: so far, we can put every living person on the planet within the land territory of Texas, with density about equal to New York City (not just Manhattan; all 5 boroughs). And we can give them all adequate water with just over half the water from the Columbia River.
But what about food? Clearly that is of concern! Well, apparently 300 square meters will feed one person for one year. Since a kilometer is 1000 meters, we could feed (1000<ENTER> 1000 × 300 ÷) 3333 people per square kilometer. We'll call it 3000 people per square kilometer to make things even. And that means (7<EEX>9 <ENTER> 3000 ÷) 2,333,333 square kilometers to feed everyone.
The total farmland in the US is about 922,000,000 acres. There are 247.1 acres per square kilometer, so that is (922<EEX>6<ENTER> 247.1 ÷) 3,731,282 square kilometers. Hey, that's more than 2,333,333! In other words, the farmland in the US could feed everyone!
So what have we ended up with? Well, every person in the world could live inside of Texas without overcrowding. We could all have water with just the Columbia River alone. And we could easily feed ourselves with just the farmland within the US as it exists.
Canada. Mexico. Alaska. Central America. South America. Europe. Asia. Africa. Australia. Greenland. All the islands. All the oceans. The Great Lakes. All empty, devoid of people. No need to farm or live there.
Now that we have the numbers, are we really overpopulated? I would argue a resounding "NO" and I think any who say otherwise are simply not adding it up.
The Overpopulation Myth
Amazing, huh?
Of course, Liberals and the media (is that redundant?) would rather wring their hands and cry 'crisis!!!'

You are the racist.Plenty more racists are voting Democrat, like they always do.[
Tomorrow, if you are White and don't vote for Trump, you need to lower your traitorous head in shame!
Thank God that most Americans are not racist idiots like you.
Unfortunately you racist idiots are all voting for Trump.
Racists like you are voting Trump.
Now not all Trump voters are racists, but Trump sure did make sure he appealed to all of you.
Racists are dumb fucks who think all(or even most)racists are white.
"I" am the "racist." And proud of it.
It's a horrible idea that will kill many civilians and spread hate of America. Anything else?
"People?" I'm talking about muslims here. There aren't any that deserve to live. That there are many who would hide behind women and children PROVES that.
So you don't think Muslim children deserve to live? How very Trump of you.
I don't think the children of spiders deserve to live either.
Will you be planning on going out and killing those children?
Or will you be hoping others will do it for you?
Blow me. .

YOU are the ignorant one.
Yes, I keep posting those well cited facts from reputable sources. I can see where that would upset you. They never told you these things in third grade.
First of all, if food was as plentiful as you say, distribution wouldn't be a problem.
Really? Did you bother to read the Popular Science article I linked to? Of course not.
{Fred Kaufman begins his new book Bet the Farm: How Food Stopped Being Food by identifying a troubling paradox of modern food production. In 2008, "farmers produced more grain than ever, enough to feed twice as many people as were on Earth. In the same year, for the first time in history, a billion people went hungry." How could we produce more food and more hunger? The answer, Kaufman writes, is that food became virtualized, or in this case "financialized." Instead of using data systems to find sensible ways to distribute real food, we have increasingly used them to trade virtual food as a speculative object, much like the complicated financial products that helped pump up the housing bubble. The result: Prices skyrocket, real food sits uselessly, people starve.}
With More Food Than Ever, Why Is Hunger On The Rise?
That is the Goldman-Sachs side of it. We still have the third world despots to contend with as well.
Because it could be found everywhere. Also, global fish populations are collapsing. About 20 years ago they stopped fishing for Cod off Canada to let the population recover. It never did. I have a documentary to recommend to you. It is called, "End of the line."
Ah, but food is not evenly produced. America, Chile, Australia, Kenya, the Ukraine, and Thailand produce most of the wheat, oats, barley, and rice in the world. For people in Libya to get it, it has to be shipped. With the Clinton Crime Family at Goldman and Monsanto stealing so much on one end, and the Obama backed Muslim Brotherhood stealing the rest on the other, not much makes it to the people in need.
Around the world there is desertification going on.
Complete bullshit - based on nothing at all.
Much of our human caused global warming is due to food production. As to your talk about GMO's, you have to be kidding! It is a disaster. I have another documentary to recommend to you. It is called, "Genetic Roulette: The gamble of our lives."
It is a "disaster" because some leftist site told you that you don't like GMO's?
Dude, you obviously have very little education and react to sensationalist pronouncements rather than doing any sort of research and study.
What you believe is the opposite of reality.

You go through a lot of trouble to show how stupid you are. People starve for one reason and one reason only. Where they are at, there is no food! What part of that don't you get. It doesn't matter what some industrialized nation had been able to do in other parts of the world.
As for desertification, you have to be a fool not to see it. Just as an example, look at what is going on in California.

Trump supports American sovereignty....Bill's wife admitted she favors open borders.
How tough is that choice???
I agree both are flawed, but....[
You had better get a good night's sleep. Tomorrow is a busy day!
Doesn't change the fact that neither of those two belong anywhere near the oval office. Trump might push the button. Hillary WILL sell the button to the highest bidder.
Holy crap, that'll be somewhere around 65,000,000 people.I already voted for Trump. I am figuring out someway to get names and addresses of Clinton voters otherwise known as TRAITORS and ENEMIES. For personal use for now and eventually use for our courts to try them for treason.
Do you have the hard drive space?
