I've heard this many times before I find it an illogical response. You're just saying that money has no practical value when people are hungry. You may be right but then neither does currency and you still have to pay for food. So, why does that make it less desirable to exchange currency for money? The two things are unrelated.
I prefer to convert some of my currency into money because it will help me preserve wealth and protect against inflation - a gun wont perform that function. That does NOT mean I do not want to eat food, its an entirely separate issue but also taken for granted since we all (and almost without exception) have to eat food.
If it wasn't taken for granted then the title of this thread could be: "Time To Buy Food?"
