Sure, I'll concede that in the edge case that we figure out how to prevent death, and have not in the process, figured out how to eliminate hunger pains (or if Christian Hell exists) then you're 100% right.

Either way though, stylistically that was a poor choice of opening sentences on my part. It doesn't add anything to the piece, and it's too easy to dispute it, thus distracting from the overall point.
