Here’s The Food People Refuse To Buy Even During A Pandemic
Daily Caller ^ | March 27, 2020 | Marlo Safi

If eyes are windows to the soul, what was left behind in the grocery stores after coronavirus panic buying are windows to what Americans won’t eat even in extreme circumstances.

People began sharing pictures on social media of what items were left behind after the shopping surge. The foods — such as cauliflower crust pizza or chocolate hummus — and the empty shelves once stocked with more appetizing foods are juxtaposed.

Carrot spirals were unpopular enough that Twitter users from different Trader Joe’s locations shared their pictures of the same stacked up boxes.

Chocolate and buffalo hummus were also left behind, confirming that the flavored hummus debate hasn’t been settled.

Vegan and plant-based can be seen in proportions that appear recently stocked.

fish cant be stored unless frozen and even then will freezer burn if frozen to long. that’s why you don’t see much stocking of fish...real question is how much canned fish like tuna or salmon was on the shelves.

Yes, it’s tap water run through a reverse osmosis system and then blended with city water or has minerals added.
Bottled water regulated by the FDA=food

Few standards are higher.

Gluten free bread is in thin supply in Publix in Tallahassee. Sadly, I know this from experience as it is my misfortune to have celiac disease and thus buy and eat the stuff.

Wife reports that the local WalMart was stocked pretty much normally this morning - except, oddly enough, no sugar free cookies.

If you have rice flour and yeast you can make your own home made rice bread.

A chemist friend of mine said that they added salts to the water to make it taste good.

Alas, your suggestion exceeds my kitchen talents. Boiling water, setting the microwave correctly, and scrambled eggs are just about the limit for me.

“ Does anyone know what is wrong with dasani water?”

It is just municipal tap water bottled by the Coca Cola Company.

Tiliapia has a high amount of bad Omega-6 fats. Salmon has much more good Omega-3s and much less Omega-6. Stay away from Tilapia!

Much worse. You will never look the same at Tilapia.

I have to say the Kroger near me was pretty well stocked yesterday afternoon. They even had TP, but were limiting you to 2 4-packs. Plenty of milk, juices, tea, canned goods, lots of yogurt, cereals, coffee, snacks, meats, and produce. Last Sunday evening was a different story, but they have restocked.

That’s everywhere. Meat freezes while most fish is best fresh.

In canned veggies all that’s left is cut green beans, sweet peas, weird stuff.

Soups all creams of something. Except at holiday season, cream of mushroom and chicken disappear.
