Statistically, not too many but one is too much in an abundant society. The actual number of people currently starving are not in any statistical or demographic records because they will not tell you. The largest group in America would probably be those who self impose starvation such as eating disorders, religious disciplines, or political statement; the next largest group would be starvation imposed by others, such as children, the elderly or infirm by their caretakers.

According to the World Health Organization, 120 Americans died from "lack of food" in 2004.

Starvation rates in the United States are generally not recorded due to the relative infrequency of the occurrence. Generally speaking, most people do not starve to death in America as a result of lack of access to food. A combination of government food programs and private charities help to ensure this. However, Americans do have a serious problem with malnutrition. Starvation (that is, death due to lack of food) in America, in the relatively rare instances that it does occur, is not usually an indication of poverty but rather a variety of other social issues.
