I actually got caught out making this argument against a lib friend of mine. It turns out that there is actually basically no one actually starving in the USA, thanks to food stamps. Malnutrition and food insecurity are still major problems, though.
(And of course the "starvation" referenced in the OP has to be bullshit--I don't think anyone in China starved to death because of lockdowns; that's ridiculous.)
Something like 1 in 5 Americans are malnourished or experiencing regular food insecurity. I think dying from lack of calorie intake is rare in America, but that hardly matters when 1 in 5 people develop any number of illnesses like iron deficiency or experience seemingly unrelated things like car accidents caused by fatigue.
