--> I'll give up cooking and the world will have nothing to eat, and every living thing will starve and die out. The land will grow cold and life as we know it will cease. Oh Wobble Bell, please come back.

* ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamTheOrigin'': Zeon's [[ColonyDrop Operation British]] didn't go originally as planned, but ended up causing even more damage than they could've anticipated. Island Effish had been battered up by an intercepting Federation fleet who tried their best to stop or destroy the colony before it reached Earth. The colony broke up into three separate sections-- one of which hit the grain belt of southern Canada. The narration states that ''more than 50% of the entire Earth's population'' died, many from the resulting natural disasters, but mostly from the lack of availability of medical supplies and food.

* ''VideoGame/{{Fallout}}'': Pre-War documents reveal that both the United States and China were in the early stages of this thanks to PostPeakOil and the Resource Wars; there's mentions of food riots in larger cities, and while there's still food to be found in the ruins even 200 years later, many people at the time couldn't afford it thanks to RidiculousFutureInflation.

Real food is extravagant luxury, and the average person is lucky if they can get their hands of artificial food made from soy and lentils.
