Saying money is more important than food sounds a bit silly. However, i do see your point, today, its probably fair to farming is a lost art, people have been snuggled up into tight little cities, and can get almost any food they want from one of many supermarkets. It has got to the point where people have become so dependant that money, in a way, can be considered more important than food.
It's sad, what you say just shows how much of a tight grip Government and Global Corporations have on people now.

Thats my point. I know we need food more than money, but today we need money to get food. There are a number of things that can cause a depresison much worse the the last one in the US. If that happens, millions would die. Most don't even know what farming is, let alone how to do it. Most don't know what can be eaten in the wild. Most are dependent on a system that owns you. If the system fell, people will kill each other, starve, steal, illness, ect.
I think one of the most important things people should be learning today is how to live without a system, just in case it wasn't there tomorrow, or next year. Or maybe it is safe to think that it won't happen now a days - "couldn't possibly happen to me within my lifetime".
Even if there was no chance of a system collapse, why can't I buy a house, a few acres of land, pay it off, plant my food, quit my job and just dwell? It is because you have need of the system and have no knowledge how to survive without it. With the right disaster, they can make you give them your souls.
