So this is dumb and will either never be addressed on the show, or Jossed by set-dressing/prop guys, but my headcanon for why FTL apparently still has a big starving peasant class is that a previous-to-Rumpelstiltskin Dark One sank the Americas in FTL's version of the Atlantis myth, and those Native/First Nations people that got away didn't manage to bring much food or any seed crops with them. So there's no corn, squash, hot or sweet peppers, or sweet potatoes, not many varieties of edible legume, and none of the edible nightshades (potatoes, tomatoes or tomatillos) in FTL. Since corn and especially potatoes being introduced to the real-world Old World made a huge difference in the world's food supply, their absence in FTL means everybody's much more vulnerable to crop failure and small crop yields. If fairy-tale-land's timeline really does run parallel to the 'real' world, why do they have such a tiny population? Because there's not enough food for any more people. (Cue speculation about the Ogre Wars being a crude but effective method of population-growth control.)
