#2Excellent guide and very nutritious.
On a side note I wonder how the pandemic will impact food service in the long run from the perspective that before the pandemic many people never prepared their own meals. Now in many areas people are for the first time limited to groceries and produce instead of restaurants and fast food. If people continue their own food preparation moving forward this will have interesting consequences for nutrition, poverty, food availability, and so forth.
As an interesting example my son attends a Title 1 school which means many students are utterly reliant on the school for meals while other meals are almost always fast food for many of these students. How parents are not able to afford to feed their children and yet drive new cars and give their children cell phones is a different conversation.

"New cars" is obviously poor decision making, but aren't cell phones cheaper than food nowadays? It should not be surprising that poor people have cell phones. The gadgets we once thought of as luxuries will continue to decrease in real cost.

And they aren't buying new cars. They are more often buying junk used cars with predatory financing contracts (https://youtu.be/4U2eDJnwz_s)
Parent poster was just spreading Fox "News" propaganda.

#7Good list. The problem, at least here in the UK, is that these cheap foods/ingredients are exactly what we're seeing empty on the shelves now. Unfortunately for those who live cheaply, expensive things go last.

Do you mean the ones that need the ventilators so badly but then die anyway?
