Well, I like your lateral thinking, but if I read the scenario correctly, the 200 surplus babies have already been born. I suppose they could kill the next 100 women to get pregnant. That would drop the population quickly and lead to a longer term decline as well, if they remove all those breeding females. Still, pretty harsh on them.
But you did give me another idea. Instead of killing 200 people and burying them ... they could kill 180 people and eat them. This would temporarily reduce the pressure on the environmental resources and, if carefully managed, would allow the people to scrape through until natural deaths and enforced zero birth rate brought the population back under the threshold. So which is preferable - to kill 180 people and eat them, or to kill 200 people and bury them?

ZG - I can't believe you would ask people to make this choice without presenting at least one recipe.

Just kill 2/3 of anyone over 35. use a lottery system. any male who fathers a child during the year gets his name entered twice. repeat annually.
