John Lennon denounced “overpopulation” myth on TV
In an archived tv interview, Yoko Ono is asked about overpopulation by a female audience member, and she replies along with John Lennon.
Q. I want to know how you as a woman think about feel about overpopulation in the world and its relation to polluting the environment
Yoko Ono: “Well i think the problem is not overpopulation as people believe it to be..
but it’s more of a balance of things.. what.. you know like food. some part of the world is wasted food, and some parts you know nobody has food. and that kind of a balance if that is solved.
i dont think we’ll be worried so much about overpopulation.
Lennon: “I think it’s a bit of a joke the way people have made this overpopulation thing into a kind of myth
i dont really believe it. you know. I think whatever happens will balance itself out
and work itself out; and its alright all of us all living saying ‘oh well there’s enough of us so we wont have anymore don’t let anybody else live’ I don’t believe in that. I think we’ve got enough food and money to feed everybody. And i think the natural balance even though old people will last longer… theres enough room for us; and some of them can go to the moon and everything.
host: you mean you think theres enough.. if it were distributed..
Lennon: yeah i dont believe overpopulation you know. i think thats just a kind of a myth that (?) been thrown out to keep your mind off Vietnam and Ireland and all the important subjects
host: i think youre wrong about that
Lennon: oh I dont care
