You are either extremely lucky or very ignorant of your own existance. Look up the effects of air pollution on decreasing life expectancy in North American cities. Consider that a significant part of your resources, and much of your oil, is imported. Also, contact your local senator or rep for information on how much of your tax dollars are spent on financially supporting food production that goes nowhere. Then look up the same for other countries. Food production is the most overly subsidized industry in the OECD and there is definitely overproduction. Starvation in other parts of the world is due to an inability to deal with transporting food from places where it's overproduced to places where it's scarce.
