Well, death by malnutrition is what they call it. But it does still happen in the US. https://www.usnews.com/news/health-news/articles/2023-04-13/deaths-from-malnutrition-have-more-than-doubled-in-the-u-s

That said... the USA is just a small part of society.

From that article:

Malnutrition is particularly common among older people, especially those who are ill, low-income, homebound, or without reliable access to healthy food or medical services

Notice how they keep referencing “healthy food”.

Starvation is not a lack of access to “healthy food”. Starvation is a lack of access to “any food”. Insufficient calories.

Starvation looks like this: https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:460/1*CdO7eSjb3Qsn-MN16cbZ3w.jpeg
