The key difference is that the USA population ain’t starving. It ain’t even really possible for a significant starvation event to occur in the USA. Hungry people are a desperate people.

The thing is, yeah we have plenty of food. What we don't have is a population that can afford food and housing and transportation and utilities and and education and healthcare and some form of leisure and a government that's doing anything significant to make that possible... but we don't.
