>Food falls under the economy, the economy isn't just the stock market or things rich people do rich people things in.
i'm not a vegetarian but if the choice is between people living and me having access to pork i choose the former.

But seriously, it's never going to be a binary thing. 100 years ago, people ate far less meat, because it was relatively more expensive and scarcer. While avoiding shopping, I've not been eating meat on a daily basis. Once a week or so is fine.
the person i responded to is portraying it as a necessary dichotomy i.e. some sort of catastrophic disruption to the food supply chain. the article in particular discusses pork, not even chicken or beef.
This isn't a problem specific to meat at all; the same kind of interruption to supply chains can occur anywhere through the economy. So you don't necessarily have the option of falling back on veggies.
Vegetables have a longer shelf life than meat and grains a longer shelf life still. So you're just wrong.
Grains are better in that regard since there's much more automation.
