Penjelasan

The phrase "cold comfort" refers to a form of consolation that is not really comforting or helpful, especially in a difficult situation. In this context, telling a hungry man that "starvation improves health" is unhelpful because it offers no practical solution to his hunger and would likely be seen as insensitive.
