So tell me about our food supply

[clifffaith]

I have no doubt that there is plenty of food in the pipeline for a few months. And I suspect can goods, bread etc are extremely highly automated with few human "canners and bakers" involved relative to their output. But I have this vision of poultry factories in my mind, with workers standing elbow to elbow processing chicken. Elbow to elbow is not a good thing right now. I suppose they can stagger fruit and vegetable harvesters into different farm beds while they work, but my impression is they go home to substandard and crowded living conditions at night. That's assuming they don't close the border with Mexico altogether. So it makes me wonder, which types of food might have availability issues if we have a prolonged period of needing to keep our distance from one another?

The other week on one of the new channels they said food will be available, but possible not all the choices we are accustomed to or our favorites.

This isn’t food but I read a major company is now limiting production to core products that are needed, eliminating many of the scents and some products. This way they do not have to reset the lines and produce more. This would make sense for food lines too.
