Hi Skeeter, we have more than enough food on this earth to feed everyone. many times tons of food rots. it doesn't get done. you premise just isn't true right now. Your assumption is not true because the population size is dynamic...that is the whole point. Further, you will not be able to account for shipping spoilage etc. and prove your above statement...but never mind because it is not the point. The point is that the population will always grow to exceed the food supply. This is biological fact. You are seeing this work out on a local basis around the world every year. Send food without birth control and you just get a bigger problem. Through birth control, we can escape this problem...but first we must get people to understand. Making statements like, there is plenty of food implies that you do not really understand the problem. Yes, some governments can exaserbate the problem, but the population expansion created it. You aren't about to tell me the world is only 5K years old or some such are you? <g> Steve
