10x more people die of car crashes than famine globally. And about the same die from tobacco exposure than malnutrition which is a wider net to cast.

If we just focus on advanced economies basically nobody dies of famine and less people die of malnutrition than car crashes by a long margin.

A lot of this article is just vibes, not data.
