That's not the best comparison because many people in the USA also don't have food: http://endoftheamericandream.com/archives/sayonara-middle-cl...

> #14 The number of Americans that are living in concentrated areas of high poverty has doubled since the year 2000.

> #19 46 million Americans use food banks each year, and lines start forming at some U.S. food banks as early as 6:30 in the morning because people want to get something before the food supplies run out.

This is all part of the point I'm making, America is not uniformly great or a land of opportunity.
