Yet another cry that big families are the source of the world’s deepest issues, like hunger. Wrapping his words in both an appearance of ecologically-friendly and faith-friendly terms, Prince Phillip of England has put the call out for rational believers to understand that if we all want to keep having food, we need fewer mouths.
Prince Philip emerges in a television interview this week as the model royal “eco-warrior” who believes overpopulation has contributed to the pressures on the world and that anyone who believes in God should go green.
The duke hints that curbing family sizes may be the best means of keeping the soaring cost of staple food products, such as bread and rice, in check.
If you are at all tempted to buy into this line of thinking, I would invite you to simply watch the trailer to a new documentary for a completely other point of view.
