Yeah, you can, deprivation to the point of iminent death by starvation is a pretty good absolute. That is pretty widespread around the world.

Of what use is that? What you describe is how medical rescue workers respond in disaster areas.

Poverty has to be relative, or you get Jacks ridiculous concept of impoverished.
