In the poor districts, many of the residents do not even have enough to eat.
Furthermore, all but the most basic foods are luxuries. In contrast, when Katniss arrives in the Capitol, she is awed by the lavish feasts and elaborately prepared dishes. The food is rich and abundant, and Katniss, for the first time, tries hot chocolate. Perhaps the best example of the inequality between rich and poor can be seen in the tessera system and the way the tributes are selected for the Games.
In theory, the lottery by which tributes are chosen, called the reaping, is random and anyone can be picked. But in reality, the poor are much more likely than the rich to end up as tributes. In exchange for extra rations of food and oil, called tesserae, those children eligible for the Hunger Games can enter their names into the reaping additional times. Most children of poor families have to take tesserae to survive, so the children of poor families have more entries in the reaping than children of wealthy families who need no tesserae.

Katniss strives at first to be perceived as a tough warrior, someone that the sponsors will trip over themselves to help because she stands a good chance of winning.
Later on she keeps up that perception that her and Peeta are star-crossed lovers so she can maintain the sympathetic sponsors who cause the 2 winners rule change in the last third of the first book. The Games are all about perception. Haymitch as a mentor has to find out what angle his tributes are going to play in the interviews with Caesar Flickerman. Katniss, because her dad died and she had to assume the role of pater familias at age 11, is far from innocent. Compare that to poor innocent Prim, who when Katniss took her out hunting a few times would say that if they brought the animal back home they could still save it.
The Hunger Games themselves are horrific.
