I agree with much of your sentiment but I don't think it actually addresses food security unless you're talking about stockpiling wheat to last through a bad year. Buying wheat flour instead of wheat bread doesn't help in case of a real wheat famine. The big processors orders will be filled first, and the market shelves will be empty. Whole product lines will disappear with consolidation. Many people were completely unable to buy flour during the grocery-shock of pandemic. I had to stop baking during the pandemic. When food security is truly tested people are going to be in for a nasty surprise. If bread runs out, people will collectively buy out the whole aisle. Then the whole baking aisle, then the rest of grocery store. Then people start eating sawdust and leather.
