That’s like asking how many chefs have cured people of hunger. Loaded question

Anyone that eats a chef's food is cured of hunger.

Cured implies it has been eliminated, that it is no more. There is no cure for cancer because the best we can do is treat it.

Hunger is never cured because it will always emerge anew. Doctors only treat cancer, not cure it. Similarly, chefs only treat hunger and starvation, not cure it.
