I think you mean "mash", but anyway... :)

It appears that modern developed countries aren't the major problem with future over-population, but rather, under-developed countries.

Modern developed countries, such as the U.S. and Australia, have excess food, which is typically sent to under-developed countries. In fact, there is a recent report that the current grain glut isn't expected to end anytime soon. (Look up the recent news on ADM and Cargill regarding grain supplies.)

Just TWO countries, China and India, together make up 1/3rd of the world's population. The United States is in a distant 3rd place, having only 1/4th of the population of just India!

Look at the continent of Africa. We've all seen the news - for decades - about rampant starvation and disease. Who hasn't seen, for decades, the TV ads showing under-nourished little children with flies on their faces, and dozens of .orgs begging us to help them? Those countries need to figure out how to deal with their over-population and under-production of food and other basic resources. China, India, Southeast Asia, and the Indonesian region are in similarly sad shape. They need to solve their problems, over-population and otherwise. I'd agree that a couple handfuls of productive developed countries can't continue to subsidize them indefinitely. But so-called "world over-population" isn't coming to a neighborhood near you anytime soon.
