Why would we be starving to death?
You seem to forget people ate just fine before gasoline was invented.

Think about it, and you'll get the answer.
How many people rely on us (That is to say, rich nations and humanitarian aid) to provide them with food? Water? Basic human requirements?
Now that you've thought of a number, add a few more million to it and you've got the right answer.
So tell me - now that oil has gone and we can't fly food to those people...
I'm NOT saying that we didn't eat before gasoline was discovered (not invented). However, we use that gasoline to provide power to refrigerate things, to gather crops, to plant crops, to get things from farm to shelf, to do all SORTS of agricultural things.
So unless we find a reliable way of getting energy NOW....
You'll be measuring the starving in billions, not millions.
