it's only gotten better if you look at food access, but food access != happiness; depression is rampant because we are being forced to live against our nature. I assure you, I hate being alive in the current world, even if my stomach is full.
Moreover even that is most likely only temporary, we are living inside a consumerist bubble that will soon burst (growing social unrest, ravaging pollution, probably a major war) leaving a horrible mess behind (we don't know how to endure physical discomfort anymore).
Not entirely true, e.g. deaths from natural disasters have been on a steady decline over many decades despite such disasters becoming more common and more destructive. In general our ability to continue improving human life expectancy has seemingly defied the odds - even in 2022 despite covid and everything else, average life expectancy is expected to improve on 2021 in most countries (including the good ol' U S of A).
It does feel a bit like quantity over quality though.
