What sort of sauce do they serve it with?

Sugar. And MSG.

I certainly did not have Canada or USA in mind. Try Bangladesh for example. Based on statistics world currently is overpopulated by about 2 bil people. Here is just a few effects of overpopulation.

Some more problems associated with or exacerbated by human overpopulation and over-consumption are:

• Inadequate fresh water for drinking as well as sewage treatment and effluent discharge. Some countries, like Saudi Arabia, use energy-expensive desalination to solve the problem of water shortages.
• Depletion of natural resources, especially fossil fuels.
• Increased levels of air pollution, water pollution, soil contamination and noise pollution.
• Changes in atmospheric composition and consequent global warming.
• Loss of arable land and increase in desertification. Deforestation and desertification can be reversed by adopting property rights, and this policy is successful even while the human population continues to grow.
• Mass species extinctions and contracting biodiversity from reduced habitat in tropical forests due to slash-and-burn techniques that sometimes are practiced by shifting cultivators, especially in countries with rapidly expanding rural populations; present extinction rates may be as high as 140,000 species lost per year.As of February 2011, the IUCN Red List lists a total of 801 animal species having gone extinct during recorded human history, although the vast majority of extinctions are thought to be undocumented.Biodiversity would continue to grow at an exponential rate if not for human influence. Sir David King, former chief scientific adviser to the UK government, told a parliamentary inquiry: "It is self-evident that the massive growth in the human population through the 20th century has had more impact on biodiversity than any other single factor."

The Yangtze River dolphin, Atlantic gray whale, West African black rhino, Merriam's elk, California grizzly bear, silver trout, blue pike and dusky seaside sparrow are all victims of human overpopulation.

• High infant and child mortality. High rates of infant mortality are associated with poverty. Rich countries with high population densities have low rates of infant mortality.
• Intensive factory farming to support large populations. It results in human threats including the evolution and spread of antibiotic resistant bacteria diseases, excessive air and water pollution, and new viruses that infect humans.
• Increased chance of the emergence of new epidemics and pandemics.For many environmental and social reasons, including overcrowded living conditions, malnutrition and inadequate, inaccessible, or non-existent health care, the poor are more likely to be exposed to infectious diseases.
• Starvation, malnutrition or poor diet with ill health and diet-deficiency diseases (e.g. rickets). However, rich countries with high population densities do not have famine.
• Poverty coupled with inflation in some regions and a resulting low level of capital formation. Poverty and inflation are aggravated by bad government and bad economic policies. Many countries with high population densities have eliminated absolute poverty and keep their inflation rates very low.
• Low life expectancy in countries with fastest growing populations.
• Unhygienic living conditions for many based upon water resource depletion, discharge of raw sewage and solid waste disposal. However, this problem can be reduced with the adoption of sewers. For example, after Karachi, Pakistan installed sewers, its infant mortality rate fell substantially.
• Elevated crime rate due to drug cartels and increased theft by people stealing resources to survive.
• Conflict over scarce resources and crowding, leading to increased levels of warfare.
• Less personal freedom and more restrictive laws. Laws regulate and shape politics, economics, history and society and serve as a mediator of relations and interactions between people. The higher the population density, the more frequent such interactions become, and thus there develops a need for more laws and/or more restrictive laws to regulate these interactions and relations.

1 population is only growing due to momentum. The global total fertility rate is very near the replacement rate and falling. This means that when the current genration of breeders are senior citizens we will likely hit peak population. (Unless we cure aging, that could get crazy)

2 most of your points can be solved through urbanization and liberalization of trade.

3 Some of your points are just wrong. Increased likelihood of warfare in particular. We are living through the most peaceful time in world history and the war that we do see generally isn't happening in countries with large populations. It happens in countries that don't have the strength to keep the peace afforded to states with large populations.

I think he is an australian dude. Not sure what he is carrying though.

Looks like a giant salamander.

Yeah well not only did I go down a black run called “widow maker” today next weekend in the same magnificent state of Victoria I’ll be at one of innumerable great beaches. At the ocean. Don’t think utah can boast that eh.

I have ridden powder and surfed a kayak on a standing wave in a river on the same day and mountain bike the next day.

Dude what is this powder you speak of ?? lol

They don't have it down under.

 

[Rubashov]

They don't have it down under.

We do but its super expensive and normally horrible quality, you're better off not buying ti here flying to say south america of europe and bingeing on it there for a couple of weeks, will likely be a hell of a lot cheaper.

Have had the pleasure of powder once here in 25 years Heaven. Hoping to ski in Japan this coming year, I’m told it’s very powdery there

Yeah niseko is supposed to be awesome. Where I live I ski grand targhee resort, we have powder for days after a storm. Had one storm that brought 48" overnight last year. It was so fun.

Mmmmm. Powdaaahhhh.

Lol at people who believe that the disappearance of large numbers of humans would be a positive for the humans who remain.

Thanos did nothing wrong.
