Perhaps they are saving that for a collapse.

I feel like a lot of people here would advocate for a richer diet.
To be fair, it’s really cold in Ireland. Radiator heaters don’t do much unless you really crank it up full blast. Then again, I spent almost a year there, alone, in a place with a broken heater and never had sex with anyone.
The US had a sharp decline in 2007 during the financial crisis.

It’s not about the quantity of food though is it? Moreso money and access?

This is correct. We waste a solid 1/3 of the food we produce and import. And we’re nowhere close to maxing out our food production. We just prevent people from having access to it.

erhm actually ☝️ the food is not wasted it is disposed of 🤓 in order to maintain manufactured scarcity which keeps the price high and shareholders happy! 🤑 another win for capitalism
