I hope that areas producing a lot of cotton and tobacco have strong enough ethics to switch to food producion to help those most in need rather than those seeking luxuries.

Ethics has little to do with it. Cotton and tobacco farmers mostly lack the equipment necessary to grow staple grains at a productive level. Much of the equipment is fairly specialized.
