"The Worst Hard Time" page 78: "No one has yet starved," said President Hoover, trying to calm people at year's end. He spoke too soon. A few months later people rioted in Arkansas, demanding food for their children."
Again...I'm not sure from the citations where the quote originated. I do know that Hoover famously said "No one is actually starving." (Other source)
The England, Arkansas food riot took place on January 3, 1931 - if that helps in narrowing down the quote.
