No, Katniss says they venture beyond in the fall for apples, and everyone knows the fence is off and the police buy the food instead of killing anyone.

Having not read the book I don't believe you have any perspective on the novel's faults and merits. Read it first before judging its supposed inaccuracies.

Where did you get the idea I didn't read it? Aren't, you know, extensive quotes kind of a clue I did? Or are you saying you didn't, in which case jesus, take your own advice.
