Optimum Population Trust

[seireikhaan]

Bangladesh has more problems than overpopulation. There are parts of the world with much higher pop. densities that are quite prosperous.

Have a look at this:

Monaco can afford that population density because it doesn't have to feed itself- large scale agriculture, meatpacking, and fishing from other countries do that for them because they can afford to pay. If every country had that sort of population density, there wouldn't be any room left to actually grow the food to feed it. In other words, Monaco's position is one of pure luxury, not one of practicality for the other countries. Further, if other countries did end up with that sort of density, other nations would practically be forced into ag specialization to provide affordable food. That leads to the sort of bollox that the midwest is doing- squeezing out every drop of corn/wheat/soy etc... with little regard for what that sort of practice doest to the soil long term. Its literally not sustainable- the land will eventually dry up on you. All the fertilizer in the world can still only extend shelf life for so long.

Before we implement breeding controls, maybe we should stop turning corn into fuel. What a boondoggle that's been on pretty much every level....

Well, that would be a start.
