      Not to death, at least not in the USA.

      We gotta keep the slaves alive so they can continue serving us.

        People in US seldom outright starving but they are surely severely malnutritioned even if they not short on money…

        Right, nobody in the US is dying of outright starvation. We’re dying of obesity, malnutrition and cancer from the literal garbage our food supply is made of. In the end we’re unhealthy and sick and it’s because of our food supply, and if something doesn’t change we will start seeing actual starvation.
