    3rd horseman of the 4 horsemen of the apocalypse from the book of Revelations is commonly called Famine, but he specifically does NOT blight crops, does not damage food. His weapon is the scales, and “destroys” not by weather or worm, but market manipulation.

    In a world where food is more than abundant, the only reason why a person would starve to death is because it’s unprofitable to save human lives.
