    Well uh, what better place would you want statistics from?

    http://www.poverty.com/
    http://www.womenaid.org/press/info/food/food4.html
    http://motherchildnutrition.org/
    http://www.freedomfromhunger.org/info/
    http://www.themedicalquestions.com/i...ld-hunger.html

    Human reproduction doesn't have much at all to do with wealth. It's actually the strict inverse of what you'd expect. Do you know how many people live in China?

    True, some of us are misenthropes and welcome the reduction in the populous.

    More like none of us are capable of truly caring about that many people. Dunbar's number, etc. You may think it's sad that so many people die every day over things we could easily prevent, but their deaths don't really register as anything more than a statistic.

    And of course. How could you possibly care about every single person? Not only would you be miserable, you would have no time for yourself, because you'd be too busy trying to help billions of people that you can't actually help.
