I did some work at an ethanol plant recently that had 4 million plus bushel silos full of corn!
Then you take into account the serious lessening of consumers of edibles. Oh and since when did plants stop growing? Even without man's help farms would still yield some crops. Orchards would bear fruit. Livestock would still live and reproduce. I don't know about Georgia but if thousands of deer suddenly stopped being killed on the highways and roads of Michigan, there would be a population explosion! You can't seriously try to tell me that walkers are killing the deer. They are way too loud and slow to catch any wild animal, much less a deer.
Now they're gonna drop a bunch of obvious cannibals into the mix? It's been just a few years people...really? I mean you're living in a train station. Are you seriously telling me that there was no food to be found? Or farmed? Or raised? Or hunted? Yeesh...

You also have to consider how much of that food is perishable. That accounts for one hell of a lot of those trucks, supermarkets, and silos. Also everyone doesn't die all at once. Many hang on long enough to eat someof the non perishable food before they're killed by walkers, wild dogs, animals that escape from zoos, or raiders. Then think about the walker herds, that sweep across the land like locusts. Sometimes there's nowhere for an animal to run.
