From what I've read fixing world hunger would not be that expensive, in the grand scheme of things. Too bad that the poor just don't have a lobby.

Also, if everyone would get at most 2 children, humanity will shrink on average. Don’t see why somebody should not have kids just because somebody else had “too many”.

I absolutely agree that many people should not have kids, and nobody should feel pressured to do so, and everybody should think twice before they do if it really is what they want and they are ready for that. But as “general advice”? Sorry, but this is ridiculous. Saying this as a fucking exhausted parent of a baby. It is hard, but absolutely no regrets here. Of course if you value your own free time and activities above everything else, then yes, definitely please do not have kids. There will be no time for anything but baby care and the bare minimum household maintenance for a long time.
