There is NOT enough food to feed everyone on the planet which is why everyone is dieing. the world is far to overpopulated.
Our planets resources are being used up at a ridiculous rate because there are too many people. in order to sustain what those in North America would call a "comfortable lifestyle" the worlds population could be no higher than 1 billion. Also humans didn't "get" greedy. getting as much as you can for yourself instead of sharing with others is a basic survival instinct.
A very gruesome but possible solution is to kill of a large chunk of the world's populus but that raises a host of moral and political problems. We could theoretically sustain a populus of up to 10 billion people by synthisizing nutrients from the air and ground, but it would be tasteless and there would always be the rich who would want to eat "normal" food.
