Capitalist countries have more free food available than communist countries do.
Free? When was the last time you got free food? Free in the fully subsidized by the government kind of way. Unless you live on food stamps (in which case you're usually fucked in pretty much every other way) I can't think of another way how you'd get free food. I guess technically dumpster diving but I'm sure it's only a matter of time until it's made illegal (if it's not already illegal).
And if the food not free then more available food doesn't matter if the people can't afford it. We produce enough food to feed everyone and we still have people without food security.
