Ireland had a large population when the Potatoe famine hit, but it was poor food distribution that caused the famine to kill so many people. "Overpopulation" is the neo-Malthusian's simplistic answer to complex questions.

Is "poor food distribution" a nice way to say "British indifference to the dying Irish"?
