::The original title is probably more appropriate -- however, the problem is that the whole thing (as written now) is set up as an argument meant to reinforce a very particular world view (that if you give humans to much food, then they will expand exponentially, and destroy the world like any other animal). [[Daniel Quinn]], for example, who is the main source of authority in that section, is clearly not a widely respected academic or researcher on this topic for instance (at best he is treated as an ethicist and philosopher). The arguments made by Quinn and others is fairly well covered in [[Malthusianism]] -- however, most modern researchers of population growth have moved beyond that ideological approach to the data, to create a focus on what is actually happening (which is more of an [[Projections of population growth|anticipated population peak]], and excess agricultural production being used for things, like [[Epidemiology of obesity|making people obese]] and food systems displacing excess production into [[Food vs fuel|outputs like fuel]], plastics and [[food vs feed|animal feed]]). Population is not a function of food availability -- but rather a [[Systems thinking|complex system]] that needs to be captured as systems (such as in articles about [[food systems]] or the [[Green Revolution]]). The challenge with overpopulation and malthusianism is that they are ideological evidence for things like [[white nationalism]] and [[Nativism (politics)|nativism]], rather than established consensus positions within the academic community.

:::Additionally if you click through on the sources: you have a think tank known for pushing malthusianism, 2 novels, lectures by fringe academics, editorials in newspapers, etc. Its not anywhere close to our standard for [[WP:RS]] for social science topics, [[User:Sadads|Sadads]] ([[User talk:Sadads|talk]]) 14:52, 10 January 2023 (UTC)
