If we think that food is generally abundant, I think it would be fair to say that famines are caused because people are deprived of food that is available, but either too expensive, and/or too valuable to other parties.

Given that, any example of famine or malnutrition, should be considered.

I don't know of any capitalist country that suffers from famine. Malnutrition is usually the result of disease or drug abuse, not lack of food.

Millions of US citizens suffered from malnutrition during the Great Depression.

More recently, half of Africa and SE Asia had malnutrition issues. Only in India, ~100M people currently suffer from malnutrition.

I'm pretty sure that's not linked to drug abuse.
