I just read an article yesterday, that said of 3,000+ counties in the USA less than 150 of them reside over 50% of the population. People concentrate in cities, which was the whole Agenda-21 theme. The masses are more efficiently controlled if you amass them together.
True.
But for a wide varied diet you should budget more, at 2017 prices $100/month os enough per person.
Even with 10,000 a city should be big enough to support food delivery, unlike small towns and rural areas.

There's a certain irony in talking about food deliveries in a thread about hunger. It's almost as ironic as the fact that urban dwellers are the most provincial. Once upon a time, rural areas were the bastion of ignorance. Now it is city streets. The ubiquity of city services allows people to grow into adulthood with no real life skills. They can't plan a menu, buy groceries to meet that menu, and prepare the food, so their go-to option is to order in.
Yes, $100 a month is a generous food budget. That would pay for a steak dinner a couple times a month, in addition to balanced and tasty meals.
