The interesting factor of the Dutch famine in 1944 was that it occurred in one region of a fairly isotropic 'developed' country, in a society where masses of scientific and psychological measurements could be conducted for decades afterwards. These could be compared with the same metrics for people in the unaffected regions.
That's not something that occurs after most famines, in which the survivors are generally anonymous.
Right, that's the relevant difference. Thank you for the explanation. The 'cohort' being that isolated in space and time must have helped. I can't see how soylent green users will be subjecting themselves to the same kind of analysis but that may be another example of my ignorance.
