if you look at things like Leningrad siege during WW2, or the mass famine caused from communism, things don't look good... 1. People will resort up to canibalism to survive, and cheat/steal/fight to get some food (ww2 concentration camps) 2. Humanity will have hard time to adapt, and by the time it does, millions will be already dead. (see the mass starvation caused in slow motion in Ukraine by Stalin, and in China by the great leap, and in many african countries)

Your point is fair, but a big difference is that those regimes murdered those people via starvation largely on purpose, or just through gross negligence. Hopefully, in the event of a famine caused by natural disaster, the opposite would be happening. You are quite correct that history does not paint a hopeful picture on the subject.
