    We don’t “consume” that much. Actually, the only thing we actually consume is uranium, everything else is just transformed and could be recycled. Sure, there are problems, but you’re basically advocating for auto-holocaust.

      Don’t forget helium! Once that shit’s pumped from the earth’s crust and released into the atmosphere, there’s practically no getting it back!

      We could be recycling everything but we’re not, and we’re not going to anytime soon, this would be far more complex than feeding everyone. I’m not advocating for anything, please don’t try to put words in my mouth. We’d have less trouble if there happened to be less of us, that’s it. I never said we should forcibly reduce our population, that’s ridiculous. I’m just tired of seeing this same senseless argument that everything is fine with the population because we could potentially feed everyone.
