The people talking about 'hunger goes away after 3 days' are talking about people who are mentally-prepared to experience it.

You and the people talking about civilization only being 3 days away from anarchy are talking about "desperate people".

I don't think anyone is confusing the two groups of people; just talking about two different possibilities for different people.
