This data is neither beautiful or compelling

This data seems not particularly informative. This data means different things in different countries, and isn’t directly comparable at all.

It appears that in the US this is mostly about old people who are in cognitive decline, particularly those in hospitals or assisted living, and often with other chronic diseases that disrupt food intake.

So the spike here seems to be more a case of assigning cause of death to this rather than to one of the other chronic diseases of old age. All cause mortality for people in those age brackets has not skyrocketd. This is not typically lack of food starvation in the US.

Whereas Brazil and North Korea have falling numbers because everyone is getting more food. And other countries are flat because they don’t categorize the deaths of older persons this way I assume? But this chart doesn’t show any of that.

I feel like this is a reporting problem. As in we report out stats one way and other countries us a different method.

US worse than N.Korea where detectors have admitted people literally eat grass like cattle to avoid starving to death?

Methinks there’s some context(s) being intentionally avoided to make this point.
