You must be kidding: <With global warming, poverty, hunger, and over population reaching crisis proportions in the 21st century > Obesity is a problem nearly everywhere [other than in some militarily and politically distressed places places like Zimbabwe, Darfur etc]. There is no global warming and if there is, it's no bad thing. It's a good thing. The continuation of the ice age is the big worry. Poverty is less than it has ever been. There is no over population. There is a population collapse coming. In some places the value of people is low because their political systems are so benighted. That doesn't mean there are too many people. Other than suicidal people, who have particular personal problems, I have never come across people who think there are too many people and who are prepared to do the decent thing to reduce the problem by personal action involving their voluntary death - heck they could not only help solve such population problem but donate their body parts to people who want them. When people say there is overpopulation, they invariably mean the OTHER people are surplus to requirements. It's like support for public transport. People are in favour of it for OTHER people, so that they'll get off the road leaving it for the right people to use the uncongested roads. Mqurice
