michelle duggar and overpopulation
michelle duggar and overpopulation, Now we have proof. Michelle Duggar – the matriarch of 19 Kids and Counting is totally nuts. First off, you have to be a bit crazy to give birth to 19 children, and then to defend your interesting life choice by saying that there is no such thing as overpopulation? Well, that’s just totally wack-a-doodle and just what the baby machine that is Michelle Duggar claimed in an interview with the Christian Broadcasting Network. Oh, and her delusions get worse….
She believes, in regard to kids, the more the merrier, saying, “I agree with Mother Teresa when she said, ‘to say that there are too many children is like saying there are too many flowers.’” But flowers don’t need as much food, shelter and items to sustain their lives as humans do. And a flower’s life span? It’s short. A human’s? It can be long. Really, there is no comparison between flowers and people.
As for whether the Duggar family is hurting the world with their very large environmental footprint, she stated that they only buy used cars and that they shop for clothing at thrift stores. But how about all the food they consume, the electricity and gas they use, and products of every kind from hygienic to household?
And she wants to share her delusional ideas with us all. She believes that we should not be “deceived” by the “idea of overpopulation,” and that “we need to focus on loving people and trying to reach out and make a difference for good in our world.”
Doing good for the world? That’s a good message. Claiming that overpopulation isn’t an issue? Not so much.
Despite the world holding a record 7 billion people, the fertile reality star tells the Christian Broadcasting Network that the “mindset” of overpopulation is “a lie.”
"The idea of overpopulation is not accurate because, really, the entire population of the world, if they were stood shoulder to shoulder, could fit in the city limits of Jacksonville," Duggar says.
She may have been referring to the city of Jacksonville in her own state of Arksansas -- the suburb of Little Rock has an area of about 28 miles and a population of approximately 28,500 people.
"So if you realize that aspect of it, we realize we're not anywhere near being overpopulated," she explains.
Duggar goes on to explain how her growing family is resourceful, despite what critics seem to believe. She says they purchase used cars and frequently shop at thrift stores.
"We've had other countries coming to our doorstep asking us to please let their people know that they need to have more children because their death rates are outnumbering their births rates and they're in crisis," says the TV matriarch, who doesn’t specify which countries she's talking about.
Duggar, who miscarried her 20th child in December, ends her argument with a quote from Mother Teresa.
“I agree with Mother Teresa when she said, ‘To say that there are too many children is like saying there are too many flowers.’ Our world needs more joy.”
In an interview with the Christian Broadcasting Network, Michelle was asked how one can justify having such a large family in an already overpopulated world.
Duggar said overpopulation is basically a myth. Why? Get ready for this ..The idea of overpopulation is not accurate because, really, the whole world population, standing shoulder to shoulder, could fit in the city limits of Jacksonville."
"So if you realize that aspect, we're not anywhere near being overpopulated."
Who knew Jacksonville was that big? Take that, science. Step off.
Michelle Duggar did, with all due respect, go on to discuss how buying used cars, old clothing and living resourcefully can reduce a family's environmental impact.
They also have no debts, reducing their financial burden on others.
Nevertheless, a family of 21? Probably more of strain on the environment than one half its size. Or a quarter of its size. Carbon footprints do exist, like it or not.
According to Duggar, though, other countries have death rates that eclipse birth rates (it's actually quite rare), so there can never be too many babies. Huh?
