I'm prepping for Brexit, AMA.

You've made huge assumptions in speculating that people buying slightly extra food will be responsible for a food shortage, rather than the trade and import issues associated with Brexit.

I care very much about food shortage, which is why I am preparing for it. I am not, however, responsible for the actions of other people either as a result of Brexit or this thread.

I'm afraid we'll need to agree to disagree.

I think doing so will aid a food shortage, should it occur.

Well you should really care, because making this thread will undoubtedly spread these rumours, even if it’s a small amount which is exactly how rumours and unfounded claims make the big time.

The best thing to do in a food shortage is not to bulk buy, it is to buy less, I know you’re not bulk buying but in case of a food shortage, people inevitably will, and your thread doesn’t mention that, if you cared so much you’d know this wouldn’t you?

So by stockpiling, aren't you contributing to a food shortage? You're creating a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Well it's everyone for themselves...do u think that when there's some kind of disaster happening that people are going to worry about each other? Hell no they only care about themselves
Not that I'm "prepping" and although u do raise a good point, it's just common sense...survival of the fittest I guess...

As I said, I don't feel I'm spreading any 'rumours'. I'm being as transparent as possible.

Preparing several weeks in advance is very different from panic buying at the time. The whole point of prepping is to avoid bulk buying. I'm sure if there was an emergency then people would panic, rush to the shops and clear shelves. Those who had prepped in advance wouldn't need to do this, which could actually lessen the strain on supermarkets.

I'm not intending to cover every issue of prepping, this is an AMA not a comprehensive guide. If people have questions, I'll answer them to the best of my ability.

I never said you were spreading rumours, I said it’s inevitable that people will become curious and possible worried, I never said you weren’t prepping, I said people will inevitably bulk buy, people are quite narrow minded, I understand your points, I am being quite extra I must admit, but at the end of the day, I like to spread the truth, and right now, just because you are prepping in small amounts doesn’t mean people won’t do the opposite and bulk buy, the public don’t take lightly to these things.

I totally agree. We had heavy snow last year and most local shops had barely any fresh food available for three days which caused chaos. It's human nature to panic. I really see prepping as an opposite to this. I know if it gets to the stage where people are bulk-buying, I won't need to, which is quite a nice thought and also means there is more food available for those who have not planned in advance.

That's exactly what I said, put more conveniently 😂
It's true tho...plus supermarkets are gonna be prepared for the rising costs and will bulk up on food while it's cheap

Well just in case, bring God with you ( @GOD ) I’m sure they’ve got a lot to catch up on.

So if Satan doesn't exist, and God doesn't exist, does that mean the air is gonna fight itself?

Spectacular, Trump is President of the United States, people are freaking out about Brexit...basically we're f*cked.
