The problem is also that the troubling consumption due to population isn't being done by Azande or Maria or Parvati's 12 kids in a third-world country - it's being done by Yuppie Tiffany's Happy Meal-scarfing pair of younguns (the Dakotas and Ashleys and Taylors), who consume more of the Earth's resources than 20 kids in a poorer country. So the white middle-class Americans pointing fingers at the women in other nations and saying "Stop having 12 kids!" would do better to have stopped at ZERO kids.
