I get all that but whatever the reasons for the "falling of a cliff" may be they apply very much so to the big majority of countries around the globe .So all things equal, American households do have the purchasing power and QoL food wise headstart to absorb the global food security crisis "better" compared to the global south. So If that significant of a % of families are going hungry in the US then for the same reasons at least that % of families would be absolutely starving in most of the world. We arent there yet and so beyond survey issues i can only think that "skipping a meal" for the average american doesnt mean the same thing as it does for most of the world and its impact isnt comperable
oh for sure. if anything, this means that global food supplies are going to get diverted towards the US, because the US can pay more for food. there's going to be widespread famines this year.
