- ekianjo 8y agoI was mostly opposing the view that "people are starving". It's well known that mass starvation is pretty much gone from the face of the Earth. Now the only places where people really die from starvation are conflict zones, or places hit by natural disasters. I am willing to admit there is are still "hunger" problems in many places, and malnutrition too, but hunger is not starvation.
