It seems pretty safe to have a good chuckle. Malthusianism is the one of the easiest ways to be wrong, it's credibility hovers somewhere above phrenology.
Shrug. We produce more food than we could ever possibly need and people still die of starvation. Whether they die because of lack of production or lack of political will/greed seems irrelevant. Whether or not there exists enough for everyone does not determine whether or not everyone has 'enough' with 'enough' in this case being defined as 'Access to life sustaining/promoting amount of calories and nutrients.'
