Not sure if this will ease people's minds or not
I am not looking to change a person's mind and I am not making suggestions as to what to do.
I am just sharing what I know or was told.

First some of you may know that I am a chef by trade. I always enjoyed the thought of food and how without it we wouldn't be here. I like to condense things down to there purest form.

Anyway first I will give you my perspective and then I will give you what I was told.

People don't cook anymore, some don't even know how. This is also my theory as to why people bought TP first, that's all they have control of in their life is wiping their ass. No joke, some people can't cook pasta. People are used to getting food from restaurants. People eat Sunday dinner at home sometimes but the vast majority of people eat out, out of necessity.

You know the stores during Thanksgiving, that is just one day and they plan for it weeks/months ahead. The stores are not used to this many people buying this much at once. The supply chain is set up to supply restaurants because they receive 80% of the food.

So my point is, there is food. We live in a huge machine and it is very complicated. We also operate in terms of efficiency to maximize sales and profits rarely is there waste because that would mean losses.

This is what I was told, my food providers are still operating normally. They still have supplies are more than likely going to get more supplies. But they may reduce shipping days to save on labor but if resurrects stop ordering food because people stop eating there or getting Togo's then it's going to be a mess.

Government will come in and sieze control of sysco's and the like and reroute it to grocery stores or more than likely hold it and ration it.

Wish you all well and stay safe, brothers and sisters.

Bump, I also cook for a living, currently work at the California School for the Deaf in Riverside we’re closed for two weeks but Governor Newsome might close down all schools for the rest of the calendar school year! You are totally right the ones hoarding dry beans, lentils etc. probably can’t even boil water!

OP has stated an emergency fact. Food servers have surplus of food with scheduled supplies and shut down, grocers at full speed overload and short of stock. This needs emergency action to avoid loss. This is no time to waste our food supply.

Re: Not sure if this will ease people's minds or not
Excellent post OP amidst a welter of rubbish [ and some interesting stuff ]
Here's a thought - while in lockdown assuming you can get some supplies why not learn to cook ?
I taught myself when I was young, its a skill that has served me well all my life and given myself and others good meals good times.
Curiously enough the first cookery book I followed although its generations before me was old traditional recipes from the past up to WW11 - the wartime recipes are really relevant because they were contriving good dishes out of very few ingredients they could get hold of - making cakes say in the almost total absence of eggs fat sugar even flour !
If they could do it - and they did - we can too,
Cook ! Fun !
