Your deeply moving essay on "that population explosion" leaves the frightening and revolting conclusion that cannibalism is the ultimate solution. The only point left in doubt is the date. The U.N. Department of Economics and Social Affairs' report, quoted in your article, indicates that the problem is not only one of food but also of space. Even if we could feed countless billions, where will they live? No matter how staggering and unbelievable such a fact may be, it is only too, too logical and inexorable...
