Or consider this, you have eaten many bugs and you're still alive. Hunter-gatherers can survive on bugs and they're fine.
Show them whose on top of the foodchain (and rinse your food).

Fruits have fly eggs on them.

In America, we would have people charging lightbulbs and tossing them into boxes haphazardly. Cause that's how power work.

Reply to Eli5 Why is there still a famine in Africa despite the fact that they have been receiving foreign aid for decades? by Illustrious-Pen9569
Ukraine produces a phenomenal amount of food that's sent to these countries. Considering what's going on there, they have their hands full and can't produce at their usual levels.
Edit: the world's largest grain exporter is attacking the world's 5th largest grain exporter. Russia is now experiencing embargoes, limiting their sale, while Ukraine is being assaulted by Russia, reducing their output. This is having an effect on supply and prices.
Adding explanation since someone was having trouble understanding the whole picture.
