"Overpopulation" is a theory that was floated about for a little bit in the middle of the 20th century. It was quickly disproven on all grounds, but it's a convenient oversimplification so it held on anyway.
There's enough food and water and housing for everyone out there. We just can't figure out how to assign our resources fairly and without enormous amounts of waste.
