As usual, I'm confused. Sorry BP.

I didn't think the world had excess food. I thought that 50% of production was rejected/wasted, either during travel to the processing, or from being out of date or below quality standards. I remember hearing about it a few weeks ago on Radio4 (no, I'm not over 50 years old, I just prefer to be educated instead of amused).

Having an excess in production, post SHTF can't be a bad thing, unless you're producing babies or poo, can it? Food excess is ideal and is how we store stuff in our cupboards.
