Bogus arguments. You have crowding in aras of high concentration. In areas of low concentration you don't. Problem is distributing stuff when people are spread out.
There is plenty of food to feed the world, as there is plenty of energy. The problem is the people and the resources they need are in different locations and controlled by different groups that don't love each other.
You have to remember that people ARE a resource, they make things, they grow things and provide for other people.

If ya can't feed 'em, don't breed 'em. And the earth is quickly getting to the point where the inhabitants can't feed 'em.
We need two signs, one poking up from each pole, large enough to be seen from space:
"Occupancy by more than 1 billion persons is dangerous and prohibited by law."
