text: population problems? since in china they figured out its not wise to have more kids than you could feed and set a law to no more than one child per couple why don't they do the same in africa and latin america. there would be a lot less hungry people for u.s. dollars to feed. this policy is not as simple to implement as it seems.  especially in democracies, it is tough to implement such policies.  also, with better education, typically population growth goes down.
