Yes, you are right about starvation, you should also google what causes starvation. All the grains which are supposed to feed the global poor are diverted to feeding animals for humans' consumption. That is how starvation comes about.
By being a vegan, you are helping to ease global starvation. Buddha has the wisdom which many people like you and I do not have, that is why you think by eating animals you are easing starvation. The fact is by eating animals you are causing starvation.

regarding the food shortages crisis and the issue of feeding the growing world population, the following was published:
VEG, NO MEAT: We can feed the world but we will have to change our food habits. Tens of billions of animals are raised for food every year but the grains fed to them could feed billions more people than the meat does. In a thirsty world a huge amount of water is used in raising these animals. Add to this the biofuel that is consuming the food that sustains humans and we have a recipe for disaster. A return to a vegetarian and vegan diet would take off some of the pressure.

Valuing the life of animals does not mean in anyway that human life is devalued, it just promotes compassion and aid to those who are not in our luxurious human position.
