How dramatic! No one is starving to death. Things will just be rough for a bit. People will get over it, as they always have, and the QoL gains will have been worth the cost many times over, just like they were for literally every Industrial Revolution before us.

Far fewer than before it. The Industrial Revolution dramatically lowered food scarcity.
