Both China and India have about 4 times the population of the United States (the American population is closer to number 4, Indonesia).

And the United States is not overpopulated, at least from a food point of view. China and India each produce enough food to feed their populations, and the United States produces even more than them.

In terms of open land--could be because from an urban area, but--there seems to be enormous tracts of scarcely populated land out there, especially in non-coastal states.

Also, the United States has about twice the land area of the EU while the EU has a population nearing 500 million (494 million), though the EU is not yet a country.

Do you consider the EU overpopulated? (Many would agree with you that China and India are, hence not asking about them).

Sure, you can get all the insecticide laden corn syrup from chemically fertilzed corn you could ever want.

Sure--we have so much land that every citizen can easily afford a few dozen acres overlooking the Atlantic or Pacific ocean.

Why, there's so much prime real estate in America, they're practically giving it away for free!
