Actually "cold and removed" is the best argument against theses words I've heard! Even if you know what they mean, or kind of know the term, they don't have much visceral resonance. I argued that "food insecurity" is a pretty normal phrase but it doesn't pack much of a punch.

Exactly. They are good and useful terms for some audiences. But politics is a game of moving hearts and minds, so cold and removed is the exact opposite of what is needed when motivating voters.
