So anything that effects food prices, regardless of magnitude, causes mass starvation?

• victorbjorklund 6mo ago
  No, not regardless of magnitude. But anything that have a large impact on food prices will decrease the ability of poor people to pay for it. It’s not rocket science.

    Then it's a discussion about magnitude and jumping to starvation is unfounded.

      Price increases due to disruption of Ukrainian grain shipments from the war substantially threatened African food stability. Despite their being plenty of capacity elsewhere because the smaller redirects of trucking into the European markets crashed prices enough that it led to protests in Poland and discontent elsewhere (though probably with significant Russian psyops involvement).

      People are already starving in the world. With higher prices the amount of people starving would be more. It's gonna be ten thousand more or a million more? That's up for debate.

  Anything that causes food prices to rise a lot causes starvation yea, when prices go up people consume less.
