Even in the UK, a supposedly rich Western democracy, people are regularly going hungry. I think you're overstretching by a long way.
The capacity for ending hunger is here.
Probably UK companies throw out enough food to feed all those who're hungry in their locality [1]. But hunger is still a big problem. It's going to get worse here too. The recession brought food prices up significantly, Brexit will do so to.
[1] high-street companies used to sell off perishable goods cheaply at the end of the day. Now they lock them in bins. Because poor people would buy them to save money, poorer people would "steal" then from the bins.
