as a buddhist i think this refers to the inherent struggle that is life itself. every organism is born hungry and needs to fight that constant hunger or die. life IS suffering, because only the living need to fight for every minute to just exist., All of our existential suffering falls from that.
What buddha taught is that it’s our gift to be able to be present in the moment and observe the sensations that arise from all this suffering without suffering directly.

huh, and i thought hunger was caused by greed which is itself tied to the modern society
That’s a modern narative to misattribute or harness a way earlier pain.
There’s famine and pain all throughout recorded history, all around the globe.
