Death by starvation is slow.
People talk about doom-laden scenarios happening in the future: they are happening in Africa now. You can see it perfectly clearly. Periodic famines are due to too many people living on land that can't sustain them.

They are feeding the world that will devour them and their children.
More die in the United States of too much food than of too little.
We have ended hunger, but now we have to end famine.
