Because even then there were too many of us?!

So how come, Covid apart, we are now pretty much all better off and
healthier than we were then.

Who is 'we' ?. There are now a couple of billion extra people who
are neither healthier or better off.

Not true. There are fewer starving people now than in 1970, even
though the population has nearly doubled. Life expectancy is better
everywhere.

I must have been imagining the LiveAid concerts in 1984 then. And places
like Darfur obviously don't exist.

Will you believe Wikipedia?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_famines

It's striking how few of those are caused by weather or other natural
causes, rather than by war or similar human led problems.
