"If California gets crushed, the rest of the country will starve."
No, it wouldn't.
You are confusing high-valued luxury foods (e.g., artichokes, almonds, and arugula) with basic calorie sources (e.g., corn and wheat). The latter category is the one that makes the difference when it comes to starvation.
California produces only a very small percentage of our calories. No one is going to starve to death if they can't get fresh arugula in January.
