4. birth control.... education and applications
Some people say that speaking of a population problem in Africa is inherently racist and they will ask "why do you think there are too many black people?" But it is all about sustainability. True, one thing that makes Africa economically UNsustainable is the systematic pillaging of its many resources by Western exploiters and its 2 bit autocrats but in order to change this it seems that a certain sustainability must be gained on the realities it has to deal with before making its own conditions (sustainability will lead to greater education of the people, etc.)

Food aid MUST be accompanied with massive birth control education and application. Unfortunately, all aid being at least partially funded by BushCo can not stress this and much of the Christian ministries doing food aid would rather hand out bibles than condoms and/or pills.
