In wealthy countries like the US it might be harder to get that new XBox you wanted. In the rest of the world there's hundreds of millions of people who are starving to death.

as someone originally from a 3rd world country. I can truly say never trust what the UN or any of those big NGO's say. It's propaganda pushing a narrative. what causes starvation in most poorer parts of the world are western induced climate change i.e draughts, floods etc. Then of course political instability

Indeed, rural people in less-developed countries are hardly connected to global trade at all.

This is from 18 months ago saying covid "could mean" "up to 260 million" face a food crisis.

I'm very confident the real numbers of starved people since then is vastly lower.
