What do you mean food doesn't grow on trees

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.
