No one in the US is starving outside of illness or drug abuse.

75% of the population is overweight, and the rate is even higher among poor people. We've had to invent new words like "food insecure" because actual starvation is a solved problem.

even if that was the case, there are still starving people in other parts of the world, and we’re still destroying food rather than giving it to them, because shipping food halfway across the world to give to people for free isn’t profitable

It doesn’t have to be profitable, but someone has to pay for it. It’s only free on the trees unpicked.
