It is unbelievable that in this day and age, when millions of people lack the access to natural resources to begin to provide them with a basic human lifestyle, this show trumpets the 'virtue' of having such a ridiculously large family. It is a already physically impossible to provide the number of people living on earth already with a first world lifestyle. The is simply not enough trees, water, hydrocarbons, calories or any of the other natural resources required to live a middle class lifestyle in suburbia. Do these people not realise that eventually all these kids will need and want houses, cars and stuff of their own one day? They are just stealing what could be used more responsibly for others. The amount of stuff required to raise just one child in the first world is just staggering. While it is natural to want to reproduce, having 17,18,19 and more children is not natural. Nor is it being a thoughtful, socially conscious member of the human race. How these people can even think they are being 'proper Christians' (whatever that means). I'm pretty sure Christ didn't say be reckless with your reproduction so your family can have it all, and others can have none. National Geographic did a documentary how many resources it take to raise a child, just to the age of eighteen a few years ago, and it shocked me. Google it. THAT is worth a watch. Not this ridiculous program. I wish that TV executives would get rid of programs such as this and replace them with something; thoughtful, educational and actually entertaining. But I doubt that in the age of Honey Boo Boo and Jersey Shore, this would be to much to ask.
