You say that like economic growth hasn't led to cheaper food.
We used to actually have starving people in this country, now we talk about "food insecurity".

Ah, so now the bar has fallen to "people aren't literally starving (yet)." Amazing.
No, the bar has risen to "people aren't literally starving (anymore)." Amazing.
Yes, "People aren't literally starving" is incredible progress for humanity. Progress which has coincided with the incredible wealth creation (not transfer, those things are different) of modern times.
Would you prefer to go back to a time were people were literally starving?
Pretty sure that's a rise of the bar, not a fall.
