"Food-insecure" is more accurate than "starving." They're not necessarily starving, but they can't count on their next meal. Some days they're very hungry, other days they're not. They are always anxious about food, which causes self-esteem and mental health issues. They tend to get poor nutrition because processed food products made from low-quality inputs are cheap.
None of this is captured by the term "starving." Sorry not sorry that precise definitions make you angry.
