How to use "Starvation" in context?
When you think of starvation, what images come to mind? A person slowly starving to death in a dark and dingy room? Or perhaps a group of people, surrounded by food, but unable to reach it because of a barrier? Whatever images come to mind, they are all accurate portrayals of what happens when someone is starving to death.
Starvation is a condition in which a person has not eaten food for a period of time, often leading to death. While there are many things that can lead to starvation, the most common cause is an insufficient amount of food.
