Why you shouldn't feed the poor
Consider the possibility you were somehow able to feed all of the people in the places in the world where life expectancy is low due to malnutrition, malnourishment, starvation, and/or contamination (eg. with low-cost GMO crops). You now have a rapid surge in the population because of the people who would normally die are still alive and live in places where there there is very likely already severe overcrowding, disease, poverty, and unrest who will only add to the problem.
Don't feed the poor.

Let's not make sweeping generalizations, shall we?

Population can be controlled by more than just starving off the poor. First world nations have either a flat or a negative population growth while developing countries generally have increasing populations. But clearly, industrializing a nation isn't an easy and immediate enough solution to confront overpopulation. But there are other things that can be done that have been done to slow or steady population growth among even third world countries. It turns out that empowering women is the answer. Giving women the ability to control how many children they want to bear actually decreases the amount of children they have. Go figure. But doesn't that sound like a tall order? How can we even do this? The way it was done in South America (can't remember the exact country) was through television. The leader made an effort to connect the majority of its population to the power grid. This enabled them to do many new things, but the access to television was very important. Through television, women became inspired by the 'first world' families they were seeing on various broadcasts, namely soap operas. They started demanding more rights and soon enough, the nation's out of control population growth halted. http://www.forbes.com/sites/worldviews/2013/06/20/womens-rights-world-population-a-conversation-with-suzanne-ehlers/ Similar situations have happened in other third and second world countries all around the globe, including Egypt.

Don't help the critically injured Abort ALL babies Overpopulation solved.

Hm on the other side of the coin. Our populations while growing should expect a decrease after the baby boomers.

*don't [i]JUST[/i] feed the poor Obviously just keeping more people alive isn't going to solve the problem; people aren't just hungry-poor.

That's why I throw my food away rather than donate it.

What if we infused the GMO crops with birth control? Then what dazy? THEN WHAT?

Youre describing third world countries, not the poor. Semantics, I know.

Why does this sound as something Hitler would think of?

I understand the logic but this still makes me feel dirty.
