I have been saying since the beginning that I thought hoarding was unlikely the issue since clearly there was a massive shift in where people were eating and no spare capacity in the trucks. The UK supermarkets spend 4 months preparing for Christmas and that is just a few days without supermarket access and once it's done they immediately switch that tiny extra capacity to Easter. Its a supply chain issue with 30% of the calories eaten outside of the home now shifting into the home. It's structural and it thus requires government intervention. When you consider that 8 hours a day people are using company toilet paper and eating lunch from lunch take out places and all that now gets shifted through the supermarkets there is a big problem. When the report was the bread was out consistently it should have become clear this was just everyone working from home needing lunch when previously they would have been doing that at work from a sandwich shop. The hoarding narrative allowed the government to avoid fixing the actual problem.
