Starvation is usually caused by over-population. Human populations used to be controlled by high infant mortality, low fertility in hard times, etc. Now nothing controls it except birth control, which not everyone can get and not everyone wants.

When there are too many deer in the woods, because of not enough predators, some of them starve.

Nature takes care of keeping things in balance, but we humans interfere with our short-term solutions, leading to long-term dilemmas.

The atheist ideas and the believer's ideas....cuz does anyone really know? I dunno.
We all might learn something and open to new thoughts!

"The mind is like a parachute, it only works when it's open."
for some its about the conflict itself, not solving the problem. We see it on CD. People don't care about a real world solution, they care about making their world view more real. The rest of us be damned to all high hell.

This issue has gotten worse and worse worldwide..many countries people are starving. Hormones, some have too many and keep breeding. Is that a god thing?

I just heard this topic discussed on the radio the other day and essentially they were saying:

We are All Here to Help One Another.

Lots of wealth and So So Much Poverty. Maybe it's all part of the Grand Plan. One can think this to oblivion.

Clearly, those starving countries are not Christian countries. All they need to do is declare themselves Christian countries. Problem solved.

Having more children than you can afford has to be a major cause of poverty. Also being a single mother. Instead of trying to find ways to give them more food, we should try to find ways of preventing unwanted pregnancies.

From what I have read, educated women don't have as many children. So maybe if the whole world is Westernized and educated there will be less poverty. I personally would not want the whole world Westernized, but it might be the only solution to starvation.

1. Earth is not overpopulated. There is no 7 billion humans.

2. Starving Marvin from Ethiopia is starving because other places of the world are over indulging themselves. Say, one great country that consumes 35% of what the world does. Got to come from somewhere. When one taketh, someone else loseth.

Actually, the current world population is about 7.2 billion. Google is your friend.
