Nature has ways of keeping us in check. Famine, plague, war, natural disaster. All part of the planetary consciousness.

So the fact that we've outgrown the earth's natural resources and have to alter them means that we're NOT overpopulated?

Right at the point when people who worry about overpopulation don't commit mass suicide.

Who said what? Aren't you arguing that the earth is not overpopulated?

Do you think that GMOs are natural?

The growth rate will go down as men and women continue to have different agendas. The family is already dead in this country and will die all over the world before too long.

without GMOs, we would still be hunter-gatherers except for a few villages along major waterways

mixing and matching foods and breeding out specific traits in foods are how we increased yields in order to develop proper societies

if you call that unnatural, then fine. humans haven't been living in nature since societies were created about 8-10k years ago. if you have a moral objection to that, then we should kill ourselves. you first, though
