Believe it or Not, There’s Plenty of Food for Everyone

The Population Research Institute (PRI) has just released the third video in its YouTube cartoon series, designed to refute the idea of overpopulation with science–and stick figures. To date the series has garnered well over 200,000 views on YouTube, and has made PRI one of the more popular non-profit channels on the video channel.

This latest video is available by visiting PRI’s web site OverPopulationIsaMyth.com. Colin Mason, Director of Media Production at PRI. “The site retains the aesthetic of the videos, while getting into a little more detail of the science itself.” . Just under two minutes long, the video uses data from the UN Food and Agricultural Organization and the World Food Program to explain world hunger and reveal how overpopulation is not causing it. All this, while at the same time remaining simple, humorous and most importantly–geek-friendly.

“We’re excited to offer another great installment of our highly popular YouTube series,” says Steven Mosher, PRI’s president. “We can
help educate young and old alike through this online video medium in the
blessings of people, and do an end run around the outdated theory of overpopulation. All of our content is down loadable. We think this could be a valuable resource for students and teachers especially, who may feel alone defending a sometimes unpopular position.”
