What's your scenario for people starving? Congress refuses to give out more money? Workers in "essential" businesses (which includes everything food related) stop working?

I would be more worried about rent and mortgages.

Rent in some Brazilian cities has been massively lifted, specially for the elderly.

Regarding starvation, I don’t see it happening because people is starting to steal, shoplift, local stores. I saw it in front of me last weekend. And they use minors to steal, so nobody goes to jail. I live in São Paulo.
