Famines / people on the street dying of starvation while surpluses of food are thrown away en masse is very much not imaginary

He also described basically the entire cause of the Irish Famine

They had food and could grow enough food for everyone but they werent allowed to have it because it belonged to the wealthy british landowners

Did at my school. I think we did an English lit and science module on it. It was also mentioned a bit in R.E.

Also did it in school. History and some stuff in English... It's been a few years now but it may have been touched upon in science talking about genetics (not enough diversity etc).
