World's population officially reaches 7billion

Im sure your 0 kids (high five!) is mixed in with the averages in there somewhere, but it might be based on marriage, age, or couples that have kids/couple without kids. Idk..

I have a question about growth rates in other 3rd world countries that you all say are so high. I have no idea what the % or birth:death ratio should look like so it makes the question harder to ask. But like, if the population a significantly smaller relatively, the % would look higher but its only based on a small population. But the rate would be small in a place like India with a billion people, even though there are alot more people being born.

This is why % are misleading

You could always weight the % according to population size, and that'd give you a more accurate measure of where to place the blame, I suppose.

One American kid should count as two.

For some reason I've been watching McD's ads from the 1980s for the past hour

'Cause you wanted to figure out why one American kid counts as two?

One American kid should count as two.

One American adult should count as 2 as well. Intake levels are sky high!
