Their own definition of "low food insecurity" is:
"Low food security (old label=Food insecurity without hunger): reports of reduced quality, variety, or desirability of diet. Little or no indication of reduced food intake."

That's not the same as starving. At all.
Their definition of "very low food security" is:
"Reports of multiple indications of disrupted eating patterns and reduced food intake."
WTF does "disrupted eating patterns and reduced food intake" mean? Missing breakfast because you're late? Dieting? Impossible to say.
In any case, very, very few people starve to death in the United States (barring medical conditions like anorexia, metabolism disorders, etc.).
