  In my opinion, it would be difficult for the US to enter a widespread (5% population starve to death) famine. The amount of dried, preserved, high calorie, long shelf life food that we have staggering. Crackers, soups, noodles, pasta, dehydrated soy/meat etc. The only two reasons someone could starve to death is if companies deliberately hid supply of food for fun, or if they refused to eat those types of food for about 60 days, upon which most people die from acute starvation. Malnutrition is more complex but vitamins exist.

  Death of farm animals would mean that the total available food supply goes up, not down. Depending on exactly how you count, it takes between 2 and 20 pounds of corn to produce one pound of beef. In terms of total global food production, meat production is a net drain, that basically consumes food to produce a luxury.
