> it said shops had plenty of supplies and shoppers must not buy more food than usual.
People always buy more food around Christmas. If the shops have plenty of food why do shoppers need to only buy a usual amount of food and not as much as they want?

Right? The Government telling me not to is a signal of the Government telling me to stockpile food. Remember the state Government of Louisiana told residents not to evacuate ahead of Katrina.

The Sheep Look Up.

A dystopian novel meant to discredit capitalism,the free market, and the United States.

Heavy on the leftist propaganda.

Completely discredited.

Yeah, the Left has been trying for quite a while to take out the Boy Scout Motto as part of the way to live a proper life.

Any time any government in this day and age tells you not to do something, it’s fear....it’s more than time to do it.

Well, at least they don’t have to tell them to not stockpile ammunition, since they already aren’t allowed to have tools of self defense.

When the government tells you not to do something for your own security.....

You need to do that, and more for your own security.

Never obey the government when it is telling you to not prepare for the future.

The government's first priority is making sure that the Important People are not inconvenienced by the Little People. They will lie to you, in order to make sure there are supplies for the People Who Really Count.

Odd to tell your citizens not to prepare in the Coronavirus age. I mean, why not?

In addition, cans of chicken and cans of ham. Good in tortillas, biscuits, omelets, soups, and a host of other dishes.

Also, I’ve read that Flour, stored properly, can last up to a year. Approximately 2 bags of flour to 1 bag of sugar will accommodate cooking & baking needs for a couple of months at minimum.
