  1. Considering the obesity epidemic, I don't think that less food on the shelves is a real problem. I used to volunteer at a "deluxe" food bank in the city where I live. It was, quite frankly, deluxe, not an exaggeration. I would sometimes see "clients" in a local supermarket buying high end products. Many of the clients were overweight, and a significant proportion of those were obese. They would often talk about trying to reverse that, and some did. That was comforting. We tried to push foods that were healthier. We measured carts at the end of their sessions, and they typically left with 200lbs of product a week. I have, for personal reasons, changed my diet over the last five years or so, I have reduced my intake of wheat products, cut out sugar, and most meat. I am getting down to my weight I had in my 20s (I am now in my mid 60s). My high blood pressure has gone away (without pills). I have no more joint pain. I have not even taken an aspirin in the last five years. I have not zeroed out anything, except sugar, but have minimized many things that are counterproductive to health. We have more food available, at low prices than we need, at least in the West. Food shortages in the west are a mirage. The food bank I mentioned got 2M lbs. of donated food from local grocery stores and restaurants a year.
