“For preventing the Children of poor People in Ireland from becoming a burden.” In the early 18th century, there was serious discussion about the over population of Ireland and how to handle it. Swift, in his usual wit, wrote an answer to the problem. He proposed that the babies could be eaten. He even postulates on which would be best for roasting, stewing, and how to fatten them up. A Very wonderful study on sarcasm that is often studied in schools and Universities today.
