Overpopulation is a lie.In fact there is so much room on earth left that,if everyone lived as densely as new York City,the entire world population of 7.8 billion people could fit into the state of alaska and give them all an acre of land and everyone would fit nicely. The lie is spread to induce fear and scarcity over masses,and to justify ways to lower the population. It is a statistical fact that 50% of humans live on less than 1% of the land,and if a fraction of lawns were turned into gardens,food scarcity would be non-existent.
