Meat and dairy and eggs would be a problem. There's always seafood.
The hard goods we probably have enough of for awhile. Yeah you can hoard toilet paper but there's enough to go around.

We don’t get to just get extra fruits and veggies so everyone can have a vegetarian diet. People who can’t get meat, eggs, dairy will be buying these products in larger quantities if it comes down to it.
If a selection of the population needs 100 tons of food and it’s
20 tons meat
20 tons dairy
20 tons eggs
40 tons fruit and veggies, and we remove 10 tons from each of the first categories, 30 tons of vegetables won’t magically appear to make up that gap.
It will come with massive price increases, supply gaps and other issues. Not to mention, as I said, these American grown vegetables aren’t just coming straight down the I5. They are coming from Idaho, Washington, Arizona, New Mexico, etc and coming across the border near abbotsford.
I’m not saying that we will guaranteed be fucked, but I am saying the supply lines are super complex for this food, and there isn’t just bonus food waiting in the wings to fill in the gaps.
