He was usually a really boring prof, so I don't even think anyone was listening to him

Damnit there's no such thing as over population. Its all to do with the share of resources. The west - Europe and America take and take from continents such as Africa and do not pay them a fair share for their resources, they charge interest on any aid they give and most of the time the money falls into the hands of corrupt officials.
Of course this isn't always the case but its what often happens. There are however some companies that are trying to make trade fair such as green and blacks, traidcraft, tearfund etc. >sigh<
Basically there is more than enough to go around and anyway, alot of those children that cause "overpopulation" actually die before the age of 5.
