Has anyone in those previous discussions made the point that both
"overconsumption" and "underconsumption" are nonsense ters. There is
only consumption,  and it is merely a personal prejudice of an observer
that can speak of that consumption being "over" or "under." Your
proposition is neither correct nor incrroect. It is literal non-sense
(or empty).

It is obvious (if one is to use these non-sense words) that most of the
world's population are underconsumers of leisure. It is also obvious
that most of the world's population (including Americans) are
underconsumers of health care. Butt of course these propositins are as
empty as the cotnraries would be.
