On a side note, one of the striking things I learned traveling to China a number of times, is that because of their population issues they basically will eat ANYTHING that's edible and provides sustenance.
We're kinda spoiled rotten here in the US and in Europe. But if we had to we'd adapt just the far east has.

As already pointed out overpopulation isn't about how much space is left it's about the negative impact it will have on the earth.
And DJ, the idea that anything is put on this earth with a meaning, especially the idea that everything was put forth on this earth for us to use is very much reflective of the naive self centered ideas the religion pushed. These people literally didn't want to accept the fact that the universe does not revolve around us.
Elph, overpopulation isn't a current problem. Well, I've actually seen an article or two that says the opposite. It's a potential problem for the future.
Edit: I didn't read your full post, Chula, I redact my statement.
