Is food rationing imminent?

I can just see some bellend buying loads to sell on eBay and in a week it would be worthless, I wonder how many vegans will turn to meat!

That’s like keto lite. I did similar plus one day a week on minimal food and lost 51 lbs in 5 months. Put it all back since!

Sort of an Atkins//Keto hybrid. I don't really need to lose weight. I just happen to enjoy proteins and fats more than carbs.

Apparently Spanish and Morroccon producers are just prioritising their contracts with EU customers because they're so much bigger and older, and UK supermarkets that had to change suppliers post-Brexit are getting the short straw. Walked past my local market today and the guy had stacks of tomatoes. Waitrose has boarded up the whole section.

The really worrying this is that Brexit doesn't really start to affect the import of fruit and veg until January 2024. That's when things are going to really spiral.

This just proves how mass consumerism and a move to cheap imports (which only means bigger profits for the supermarkets and not cheaper food) has shaped our behaviour over the last 20 years to the point where we're totally reliant.

Just because the supermarkets are short doesn't mean there's a shortage.

I got a bag of mixed veg from the market yesterday for 75p which made me a veggie soup that will last me for lunches all week. The supermarkets don't even sell these veg mixes because it requires effort on their part and selling them for 75p isn't profitable. So many won't know these options even exist if they never leave Aldi or Tesco.

This whole thing is the equivalent of KFC running out of chicken, if the supermarkets have run out then why not just go elsewhere? That last part is the problem because people can't be arsed.
 
A month ago I batch cooked and frozena gallon of vegetable soup.
Full of onions, cabbage, leeks, potatoes, tomatoes, celery, pulses, carrots, red lentils, peas and other now rare and exotic produce.

I am prepared to let it go at £10 a portion.

We can meet at a neutral venue, cash only.
