Except, it didn't?

Just because you are just now noticing something common doesn't mean it recently became common.
- hammock 4y agoI appreciate the effort to apply data. There are alternative facts, though: https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=world+hunger%2Cfood+security&year_start=1800&year_end=2019&corpus=26&smoothing=3 https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=world+hunger%2...
- Shared404 4y agoI'd like to take this opportunity to point out a common statistical manipulation - extending an axis far longer than is at all relevant to the data, creating a misleading interpretation of a slope. https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=world+hunger%2Cfood+security&year_start=1940&year_end=2019&corpus=26&smoothing=3 https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=world+hunger%2... is a much more readable and accurate graph. Note how both are ~equivalent for a majority of the time, barring 1943 - 1951 (slight edge for food security) and 1960-1970 (larger lead for 'world hunger'). At 1970, food insecurity takes and maintains control. This is likely because it - as discussed in the rest of the thread - encompasses more, and is a more useful term for scholarly discussion.
- Sapere_Aude 4y agoRight around the time when the Trilateral Commission, the Club of Rome and other elitist think tanks / NGOs were founded to push globalization, development and such ideas.
- tantalor 4y agoGreat find! Sounds like this term became popular in the 1970s. That was a while ago :)
