    a decent well researched article discussing the possible impact of a no deal on food imports and the nonsense idea of stockpiling foods within a just-in-time system (unless you just want to eat spam)

    • I wish somebody would put Dunt up against Rees-Mogg or Johnson or any of the hardcore brexiters for more than a few minutes. He properly knows his onions.Fax_Benson

    • It strikes me as completely eco un friendly to be exporting/importing meat. Surely if we stop exporting meat we won't need to import it?shapesalad
    • It's all a race to the bottom, global/eu trade allows constant supply of cheap meat, regardless to the environmental or local cost.shapesalad
    • In any case, the UK has an obesity problem - it's not a bad thing for the UK to be low on food supplies for a while.shapesalad
    • The uk's recent African migrants will soon fill the meat supply gap, being used to bush meat, by offering up squirrel, hedgehog and badger meat.shapesalad
    • and a nice plate of gammon for you Shape haha.fadein11
    • you're right about meat but about half of all food eaten in UK is imported, of that 30% from the EU and 11% is from countries that have agreements with EU.lowimpakt
