So according to your article, the WORST case of "starvation" in the USA is Memphis, Tennessee. Unemployment is 7.5% and 26% of the population had experienced "food insecurity" at some point in the last 12 months.
Meanwhile in the ENTIRE COUNTRY of South Africa, unemployment is 25%, one in four people is hungry on a regular basis and half the population is "food insecure".

So, no. Nobody starves in the USA. Nobody starves in South Africa either - people starve in Somalia and Sudan.
But South Africa is far worse in terms of feeding its population than even the worst city in the USA.
By the way, your reference website is a pain in the ass - takes forever for the advertising and images and stuff to load.
