And we're short of food to feed the poor?

If we're to produce it organically rather than factory-style, then it may be.

On the other hand, I see I led the debate off-track with ill-chosen words. The issue wasn't really food, it was social differences, and who benefits and who enjoys what is produced. I translate some more from the letter of the guys:

...Superflex is familiar with all kinds of work contracts: part-time, full-time, practicum. All the stress led to a welcome mutation of his molecules. Operaistorix survived the last few years with an unemployment module. Thanks to his unheard-of agility, he managed so far to avoid visits by the Labor Office and One-Euro-Jobs. The mutant body of SpiderMum was born somewhere between daycare, unpaid and paid cleaning. Cleaning agents and washing mop turn into weapons in her hand. Santa Guevara detracts himself from controls and disappears without a trace. That way, he manages to escape the boredom of callcenters and university seminars again and again.

...without the abilities of superheroes, it is impossible to survive in the city of millionaires [some Hamburg districts are Germany's top gated communities for the richest]. Altough we produce the richness of Hamburg City, we don't have much of it. This doesn't have to stay so. ...the places of richness are as numerous as the possibilities to take away this richness. One question remains: where do you apply your superhero powers? Simply just come to the Euromaydayparade on 1 May...

We're not. Famine is a political, not economic issue (Amartya Sen dixit)

guaranteed to evoke a violent reaction from police is to challenge their right to "define the situation." --- David Graeber citing Marc Cooper
