‘We are in serious trouble’: The other crisis – our food supply

Tim Lang likes to take the long view. A conversation with the internationally renowned professor of food policy at London’s City University will roam in detail from the repeal of the Corn Laws, through Brexit and back again, the narrative seasoned with detailed facts and figures.

Nonsense, stop it, if everyone is sensible and calm we can cope.....

Totally irresponsible. Delete your account.

get in the bin with this patter. Your job should be to try and reassure where possible rather than sensational headlines like this. People are scared and doing silly things. Just stop it. Pricks

Fgs like people haven't panicked n stocked up enough!

Great headline to make people panic.

Why are people hoarding anyway? There's no plausible reason to do that. Don't be selfish jerks. Be rational and thoughtful of others. STOP F$%&ING HOARDING!

:)

This would have had more effect if it hadn't been written like an advert for the bloke's book.

V glad someone is thinking about this

But the UK government says....oh wait, nevermind.

This article is making a good point that it is a matter of national security to maintain food supplies within the country. It is surely an apt time to appreciate that fact, and something to remember once this virus has been contained and people begin to move forward.

Oh we haven't got enough panic yet? Quickly, tell them the food will run out!

There is no food supply crisis🙄🙄🙄

Top fearmongering from the guardian

Well.. this should help to change attitudes. 🤪fuck nuggets.

Not sure this headline is helpful right now. The full content will probably be after the crisis, but this headline...

Another national system shown to be teetering on the edge by the viral crisis. Let's hope we use this moment to put it and other flawed mechanisms right.

fear mongers will get the rope

Well done that will help stop the panic buying!

Really. The aggregate world could lose some weight. Let 'em get hungry for a bit.

Oh
