But food production and distribution occur independently from weapons production, and both occur independently from the printing of money.

People (at least outside of "total war") don't stop producing food so they can make bullets or whatever else, so the production of one doesn't impact the production of the other. What you are left with is the problem of the value of people and labor and money itself - if there is plenty of food, why should anyone be hungry?
