re: Food goes to waste amid coronavirus crisis

There isn't a food shortage. We have too much. It's funny you mention government spending when it's the schools being shut down that has seen this surplus of milk. You know, something else the government spends a lot money on.

I really have little idea exactly what you're talking about.

I was criticizing the government's lack of preparedness to facilitate basics like the diversion of food and medical supplies in a scenario such as this. Something we supposedly pay to have them doing.

The article is about food going to waste not food shortage. Not sure where you got that from.

I'm also not sure about you but I would be fueling the economy with a lot more purchases if supermarkets near me didn't have 75% empty produce sections and only Vanilla flavored Almond milk many days.

So, when I also have a brother with a refrigerated trucking company running into total chaos trying to find work transporting food right now and then read multiple articles about all kinds of perishable food going to waste, it makes me think that something isn't quite as organized as it should be.

So, one more time, I would have expected better for all the billions we pour into Homeland Security and Defense when this has turned into the largest disruption to secure life in our homeland that most of us will probably, hopefully ever see.
