999, the trouble is that the majority of folk in 'the West' have never been to a third world country, and haven't seen the crushing poverty there. They love their chocolate bars, and see no real connection between their treat and the way it's produced. I'm ashamed to say I was a bit like that, until I started to travel in West Africa, mainly off the beaten track and not to the usual tourist haunts. So any solution casually mooted by a Westerner is almost bound to be unworkable. Population control is not a simple issue, neither is sewage disposal. If the solution were easy, the problems would have been dealt with long ago.
