Honestly, I think we will learn to stop wasting perfectly good food just because it has a wrong color, isn’t the right form, has a bend, is a little bit smaller or larger, is a day old, before we actually have a shortage of food.
This is true although we can't take chances with meat. I sometimes buy reduced food, about to reach the sell by date, though I have tried taking it afterwards and it's not the same. it's a scary thought having food shortages. But my opinion is, surely things can't get any worse and they will finally start getting better. If things get really bad, there is always a strong sense of Charity around the world so we can help each other.
