About what starvation? No starvation is going on!I was referring to malnutrition, and only added starvation to try to preserve what little grasp Weatherman still had on the conversation.Well I'll ignore that you don't have a link of your own that shows evidence that people have starved to death in Venezuela. As for deaths in the U.S. due to malnutrition and starvation, putting it all together would take a while. Instead I'll post just one example of a malnutrition and starvation disease that killed 10's of thousands: look up Pellagra.Where's your link?You righties love making dramatic proclamations and ignoring anything that disagrees with them. That is why conservative talk radio is so popular and why Fox News is the #1 news media network, and still gets away with saying it's not part of the so-called "mainstream" media.
You don't because you pulled your statistic out of your ass.
Venezuela should be prospering with all of it's natural resources.
But it's people are starving because of socialism.

There's a ton of other information about how many have died of malnutrition and starvation in the U.S., but I don't feel like putting it together. Your dramatic proclamation has been blown out of the water, so maybe you can be reasonable from now on.
Your article is about Pellagra, not starvation. The former is the result of a vitamin deficiency. It occurred before they even knew what vitamins were. It wasn't caused by not having access to a sufficient number of calories to maintain your body weight.
This thread is about starvation. You're trying to change the subject to malnutrition. Go start another thread if you want to talk about that.
