If so many are starving, why does the population keep increasing? Ahh, but we aren't supposed to ask that, now, are we?

They are not starving yet. It is coming and the 84 famine did reduce the population.

but what is the answer?....I have always wondered myself.....

here in Western culture, if you don't take your daily vitamins your baby is considered at risk.....why, with famine, AIDS, tuberculosis, female circumcision, and the stress of drought and war and tribalism......one would think they could never reproduce.....

answers needed....

My question too. I don't know about you but if I KNEW that if I had a child and that it would more than likely die of starvation or disease I wouldn't bring a child into the world. Maybe if they kept their population in check there'd be more food to go around.
