Nobody has answered my question... were holograms actually eating people? Seems that a society advanced enough to make such things would figure out how to produce food? Or that limiting population would be a better idea to combat hunger than to randomly kill some kids? Or was hunger, itself, an intentional device to keep the population in line? If so, I can't think of a stupider way to do such a thing... hungry people aren't too happy.
Guess after watching the movie I can't figure out what all the Hunger Games fuss was about.

The government controls the outer districts by regulating everything they can and cannot do. Each district has a small army there to keep them in line. Hunting, etc is forbidden so you'll be forced to accept food from the government which, in turn, makes the odds of your child going to the Hunger Games greater.
The Capitol is where the government is (obviously.). That's where all the tech and food is. The Hunger Games are the Capitol's way of reminding the outer districts that the government is in control.
The first movie is the 74th Hunger Games. You have to figure that everyone from the pre-Hunger Game era is dead, and at this point, the population just bends over and takes it. What are they supposed to do? Attack the "peace keepers" with sticks like Ewoks to Storm Troopers?
As for the holograms, they were better explained in the book and each hologram resembled a fallen tribute. It's my understanding that the arena is basically one big hologram or better yet, like The Grid in Tron. That's how the game makers control everything.
