Who knows.
Due to Capitalism, we have an obesity epidemic around the world now, not a starvation epidemic. We now have TOO MUCH food, not too little.

People have been crying about the end of the world since they realized the world's true extent - for centuries now. It seems like an easy calculation to make, but it's too simplistic, and doesn't take into account things like technology.

Besides, global population is beginning to decline already. In 100 years, it's more likely people will have to deal with not enough people, and not enough of those people working, instead of too many.
