It seems my dwarfs are starving though i own like 2000 stacks of food...
But its stored in barrels.. how do i tell my dwarfs to use the food in barrels ?

[pushy]

They should do it automatically.

Possible problems:
You've got the economy on and the poor souls can't afford any of the food you have in those barrels.
For some reason your food barrels are forbidden (reclaim them and then they'll eat)
The food isn't edible (raw fish etc)
The barrels are involved in some other task (e.g. moving from one stockpile to another), in which case the dwarves wouldn't eat from the barrels until after the other task is completed.

No dwarves are that dumb.

You haven't played DF long enough.

The economy isn't the reason they are starving. Poor dwarves will eat the cheapest food they can get if they can't afford it, despite it being outside their price range.

I stand corrected.
