Starvation doesn't really exist in this country. Even the homeless get fairly regularly.
Otherwise, you're right on the money. Cheap food is processed food and lacking in a lot of nutritional needs. That doesn't mean that folks aren't getting enough calories (the opposite actually), just that they aren't getting the right stuff. That kind of diet will lead to weight gain since the body basically gets high-carb foods without much protein or trace elements.
