This Photo Of Color-Coded Grandchildren Is Going Viral, And It Shows Just How Much One Family Can Grow

only one has 6 kids, and the last 3 seem to be triplets

There's no evidence that the world is, or is becoming, overpopulated. That's a theory without basis that keeps arising and is decisively debunked every time. In fact, the entire population of the world could live in an area the size of the state of Texas, and every individual would have an acre and a half to him/her self.

There is no truth to your comment. Overpopulation isn't as big an issue as it is made to be. There is a lot of balance at play that gets overlooked leading to this misinformed mindset. Historically, families tend to have a lot of children when the population needs it due to abundance of illness making for short lives and decreasing the chance of reaching adulthood. The better off a population, in terms of living conditions/healthcare, the less likely families are to have many children. Even then, there are still families who choose to have no or few children further balancing out those who still have many in favorable times. There is enough food and housing to cover all of the people that exist now and then some, it's not overpopulation that is the problem, but the distribution of resources. http://www.realclearscience.com/articles/2011/07/20/the_world_is_not_overpopulated_106247.html https://www.pop.org/debunking-the-myth-of-overpopulation/

That's what I was thinking about while reading this post, you two get my upvote.

I agree! A lot of people want to live in denial (and hence the downvotes) but overpopulation is a massive concern. That is why I'm childfree. :)

me too!! too bad I have no family.

U better not have kids. Not population control but a*****e control

Goodness gracious, if they want all those children, then they have a right to have them. Nobodys stopping them from doing that and nobody should. And some people dont have families so id be supportive if I were you.

It was an entire family not one woman with 17 kids. No aunts uncles moms or dads were in that picture just the kids from multiple moms. My family has many more cousins. From a great grandma with 5 kids who each got married to have 2-4 (15 children) who also got married and had kids of there own masking a total of about 40 people. Its called now extended family
