Cambridge-based scientists develop 'superwheat'

4. That's my thought as well. It's a positive feedback loop.

More food => More people => More food => More people => ...

Population activists think we can break the feedback loop by convincing people not to have more kids, even though there's enough food and material comforts to permit it. I think we can slow, but not stop the rate of increase. Turning the population curve negative voluntarily is going to be both politically and psychologically impossible, IMO.

Can we break that feedback loop on the food side without hurting anyone? I personally don't think so.

So we can't reverse population growth, and we can't stop the growth of the food supply because there are already hungry people in the world, but if we keep producing more food the population will automatically keep growing. Can you spell "hooped"?
