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.
