 Why there will soon be tons of toilet paper, and what food may be scarce, according to supply chain experts
Jade Scipioni

Stuck rationing toilet paper because you didn't stockpile during the coronavirus panic over the last few days? Don't worry, according to supply chain experts.

"All the grocery stores are going to have pallets of toilet paper sitting in the aisles and nobody is going to buy it because who needs to buy toilet paper when you got a year's worth sitting in your garage," Daniel Stanton, a supply chain expert and author of "Supply Chain Management for Dummies," tells CNBC Make It.

But what about food?

Even if the COVID-19 pandemic stretches over months (President Donald Trump said it could last until August), there will no big food shortages, especially on staples like milk, eggs, cheese, bread and meat, according to three supply chain experts who spoke to Make It.

But that doesn't mean your favorite brand or the exact kind of fruit you want won't be scarce.

"The brand that you normally want may not be available. But, hey, there's be some other kind of pasta or instead of rice, we're going to have potatoes for dinner," Stanton says.

I suspect many (like me) will be expanding garden plans, after this recent panic.

Not a bad thing, and reduced working hours means I have more time to spend taking care of it.

Non-perishable foods are likely to be hit some by panic buying, though at least some processing companies anticipated it and have increased production (e.g. Campbell's Soup).

Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

Just asking as a question, all right.
Can people ingest and actually eat toilet paper?
Just curious?

You can but you would get no nutritional value from it so if you eat it, your body could probably break it down, but because you would get no nutrients you would starve to death  with a full belly

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

What is Priceless os the look on face of the guy who has two metric tons of toilet paper in his basement?
When he thinks? Shit! I should have been buying actual food.

What good is TP if you have no food?

A good investment right now might be in swimming pool contractors.
