    It’s dependent on what you’re actually saying. 600 people a year in the US starve, it’s not exactly widespread in a country of 400M+. I’ve literally never met a person in my life in favor of letting people starve.

      “Starving” and “Starved to Death” are different things. It seems you are only counting actively dead people. “Starving” doesn’t have to be fatal if corrected in time.

      13% of U.S. households are considered food insecure though. I’ve met plenty of people that argue for abolishing social programs, and quote the Bible about “if you don’t work, you don’t eat” or something like that.
