"Starvation is rare among forager societies"
I'm sure some smart alec will come up with "natural disasters" as a counterpoint.
And that might be true. In fact, I'm pretty sure that it was - although I've little idea how common it was, to be very fair.
The situation we're in now, though, is a little different - we're perfectly able to help people who suffer from "natural disasters"...but we don't.
So we've gone from "nature is against us" which is not great - to "our own species is against us" - which is much worse.
