I can't imagine it either. I've never asked them what they think of the abject gluttony, I'm not sure they would agree with the phrasing of the question. My grandmother volunteers much of her time at a local food bank and my grandfather owns several acres of land that he converted to what he calls a "Victory Garden". All of the produce is donated to the food bank. It's his way of helping those in need and keeping others aware of the fact that we are at war.
I do know they are incredibly grateful for the opportunities and the abundance the United States has provided. I also know that they get very shaken up when they hear our leaders and citizenry espouse phrases like, "axis of Evil" and if you're not with us you're against us. -to them this sort of rhetoric sounds all too familiar.
