There's a big difference between what you CAN and what you WILL cut. Alcohol and tobacco aren't necessary to survive. But alcohol consumption is some countries have actually gone UP during the lock down. Not sure about cigarettes, didn't see any stats. We'll see what happens to the food industry. Milk consumption is WAY down, because up to 50% of milk products were sold through restaurants. But wheat and rice producers may not be negatively affected or may even gain on the recession. Think about this in the following terms. Yes, you can cut your food BUDGET by 30% and survive. But you won't be able to cut your CALORY intake by 30% without starving.
- neuronic 6y agoJust to put out a reference here because I have seen numbers in German news yesterday. Alcohol sales for wine and beer are up around 20-30%. In grocery stores. But is that really a hint at overall alcohol sales growing? For me, I know I buy way more alcohol now in grocery stores. But what about all the alcohol not spent in bars and restaurants??
