I'm probably in the world's richest 10% (I earn a decent salary in the SF Bay Area), but I don't produce any of the global food. I know how much a close relative earns on his farm, and his net income for a family of 6 is much less than my income. The bank owns so much of his farm and equipment that his net worth is less than mine too.
Some of my stock market investments likely go toward companies involved in food production, but that's a pretty indirect way to claim I'm responsible for any food production.
