Maybe not starving (which literally means dying because of lack of food), but suffering from some form of malnutrition. Protein malnutrition is important, as a lot of cereal crops cannot provide a person with a complete amino acid profile and micronutrients if relied on to the extent they are in poorer countries.

So you’re saying that widespread hunger is acceptable, but if it were famine and starvation then you’d be worried?

I’m just saying half the world is still not starving. It’s not even half the world not meeting their needed caloric intakes. Advances in fertilizer, pesticide and GMO technology have actually made a difference. There’s still problems that need fixing but your initial comment is inaccurate

Ok. I’m glad someone is here to tell those poor Chinese farmers that good news, they aren’t starving!

One problem is worse than the other. If you still have a bad problem but get rid of a worse one, then your situation has improved. If you’re going to be condescending, you should at least be smarter than a child first

Obviously nothing has gotten better because there was problem than and now there is still problem /s
