> Less food? Working on it (see: /r/progresspics, and all the science and journalism on this, soda bans, etc).

And failing at it, see worldwide obesity statistics

> Less cars? Working on it (see: Waze, Uber, Lyft, public transit, et al).

And failing at it, see the meteoric rise of motorization in developing countries

> Do you suggest that China didn't try population control at scale for generations?
