The article claims closed restaurants are going to lower the overall demand for food, that was temporarily sustained by panic buying. Could someone please explain how this makes sense? I would think people are going to consume the same amount of food daily whether they are eating out at a restaurant or at home. I know people probably will consume a higher food volume per meal on average eating out than they would at home, but most people I know make up for it by skipping the next meal or just eating a snack. |

Re: Coronavirus (non political)
Ugh. I owed money this year ($32 bucks lol) and I used my credit card to pay for it. But I did get money the year before and had the same bank, it was direct deposited. Got paranoid, and looked online. Found a site to track your check, and they didn't have sufficient info for direct deposit. I was able to put my bank info in. Wonder how long it takes for them to verify and deposit. I don't need the money as an emergency or anything. Its just moreso making sure I get it. Note to self, I will just pay any amount owed from my bank account too, so its on file.

Re: Coronavirus (non political)
I think it's because restaurants buy in bulk, and they're not buying the same stuff we do at home. For example most people don't eat a lot of fresh produce at home. And restaurants toss out a ton of food too.
And when you eat at home vs in a restaurant are you starting off with soup and salad? How about a desert and maybe an appetizer? I think most people simply consume more when they're out vs making dinner at home. |

Re: Coronavirus (non political)
I did read an article that I think was based on observance in NYC. It said rats that used to eat out of dumpsters outside of restaurants are now fighting each other over the limited food supply and have even started to cannibalize each other. A stark contrast to before when they had plenty for all of them to eat and never fought over food.

Re: Coronavirus (non political)
In defense of the restaurants there is alot of restrictions on what can be given away and what has to be destroyed. For one and it's a big one anything with a do not use after this date is a big one. The food it's self might not be bad but by law must be destroyed .

Re: Coronavirus (non political)
Seems like that could be solved if soup kitchens/food banks/etc. would sign a liability waiver absolving the donation from liability.
