You can have _both_ if you are lucky enough to live in countries that don't have permafrost.
Can you remember your relatives who have really starved in last 200 years? I have plenty. Most of them could shout anything they wanted as Lazs, but they preferred to work. Or Serve. I am a first "civilian" man in my family in 3 generations.
I have to say again that I was born in Leningrad. I was born in 1972, my Father moved there in 1944, right after the siege was broken...
