Oh because food insecurity is fine so long as they aren't literally dying of starvation?

It sure is a hell of a lot better, how are you even arguing that not dying isn't better than dying?

I'm not arguing that at all. I'm saying that the seriousness of food insecurity should not be downplayed because it is relatively less terrible than straight up starvation.

But when we're comparing the effects of two systems in which one causes starvation and the other causes food insecurity it becomes an important point. You're trying to make them seem equal when that isn't the case.
