The revolution was about missed meals and lack of food. The US isn’t there yet.

I’m not sure I would characterize it that way. It was a bourgeois revolution, lead by the bourgeoisie, who were not starving. Same with the American Revolution. These were revolutions led by & funded by people who owned the means of production.

This is faaaar too low. The French Revolution was really triggered by famine and people not having enough food.
