Not major overall but maybe major for specific things

Minor shortages. Not major. That is, no one will starve as long as we start getting moving very soon. Obviously, the longer we’re shut down the worse it will get. Which is why Dems want to keep us shut down.

Unless they knock those idiot Hoarders off the planet. No

Maybe shortage of exactly what you want but I doubt shortage of sufficient edible items to keep you fed.

If they keep dumping food, yeah

It’s just the media. They’re awful.

Food will there, just not where you want it.

Isn’t there already a shortage of certain things?!

Not in food as a whole, but in healthy Whole Foods there could be a real struggle. Buy local and support your local farms!

That depends on your definition of "major food shortage". A "major disruption" is not the same as a "major shortage".

To me, "major disruprion" suggests that there will be localized shortages of particular items, perhaps meat included. It does not automatically imply a major shortage of food in general, that is, that people will be at risk of starving. Just that we may all see scarcity of certain foods we particularly want but cant get.

Trump's recent order will alliviate that to some extent.

No. This is just more fear porn to push universal healthcare.

The socialists have it under control. Everyone calm down.

If governments continue their power grab, then yes.

Nonsense. It's a bullshit excuse to force employees to work in a meat processing plant that has had an outbreak. There won't be a shortage.

Trump has our back (as usual) and democrats will attack him for it.

Experts ......another leftie wish

A lot of major food-producing states like Iowa are on the verge of opening up. I think the experts have some false assumptions about the duration of these stupid lockdown rules.

Interesting when experts warned that covid would come to America and cause disruptions to every day living Americans through they were crazy same thing now experts warn a food shortage can happen in America and Americans think it won’t happen when will we Americans learn to take heed of experts

There is a serious toilet paper shortage

Yes. Dry goods should hold you over. Get beans and rice in 50# bags.

CNN has been saying that since March.

Like all media, they just want to make people panic for ratings.

Trump just said he’s going to label meat processing plants as essential, so I think we’ll be alright on that front.

same experts just four weeks ago said do not worry, no risk to food supply. Idiots.

We have been rationed here for about a month , first allowed only two of each kind two chicken, two beef, etc. Past few weeks we could only take two items total. Today there was nothing to take except a whole ham or whole chicken. I went to another store.

Major? No. Will there be less variety and will the prices go up? Yes.

Our local grocery store is already rationing meat. We were only allowed to pick up two small packages of chicken today. The supply chain is already mangled.

I'll be fine if Pennsylvania decides to stop exporting food to other states.

I saw earlier today that farmers were dumping tons of potatoes that there was no market for anymore. I don’t think the United States will ever experience a food shortage.

Especially food banks and in food desert areas...
