If you are looking at Prep food most of it is sold out...

Looks as Brits are rolling steady into panic mode.

Supermarkets prepare for FOOD RIOTS as part of emergency plans to feed the nation as panic buying Brits strip shelves faster than they can be refilled.. but high streets and shopping centres are deserted

Not seeing the zucchini and squash as much of a loss. :P

I would have thought that people would buy the foods they want from their local grocery store if they were not buying from restaurants. But then I’m a sensible person.

Is their point that restaurants waste more of the food they buy, and that food is now being wasted elsewhere because restaurants are buying less? Is their point that Americans normally overeat and we’re overeating less so that food is being wasted? Is their point that Orange Man Bad, so we’re blaming the Orange Man for wasted squash because some squash is orange, and somehow that is connected to the orange Coronavirus?

Maybe the illegals are too afraid of COVID to leave their homes. :-)

Juicy tomatoes were left to wither — unpicked — in farmers' fields.

Why aren't they in supermarkets? Just about all of the tomatoes you can get here, even upscale markets like Whole Foods, are from Mexico. Given the fertilizers used in Mexico and the use of produce trucks to smuggle illegal aliens across the border, I try to avoid eating any produce grown in Mexico.

vegetables grown in Florida are being plowed over

Just an academic question. Do you plow vegetables "over" or "under"?
