Why Millions Of Potatoes Are Being Thrown Away During The Pandemic
Potato farmers in Idaho and Montana are destroying millions of potatoes. Restaurant closures because of the COVID-19 pandemic caused a glut, and now, billions of pounds of potatoes are stuck in the supply chain. It’s caused unprecedented financial losses, food waste, and emotional turmoil for farmers whose livelihood depends on their crops. What did you think?

I truly wish we could sue the Chinese for causing this disaster to every countries economy! Why can’t every Attorney General of every State sue them? It’s thier fault that this has happened! Every single pandemic, and every single flu has come from China, and it’s been happening for centuries!

All of the losses caused by the political response to the pandemic are totally unnessisary. The virus spreads fast but the death tolls are 0.02%.
Herd immunity is the only way to defeat this virus. Anyone hurt by these politicians who are thinking that this will defeat Trump can vote for Trump
and get some revenge. Also don’t buy any chinese goods. You will find this difficult. They committed germ warfare in my opinion.

Several months ago there was a shortage of potatoes. So I bought a couple huge boxes of mashed potatoes to get through till the end of this year. I’m glad they tried to give some away but maybe if they could have announced it on the news, then they would not have gone to waste. Seems like they could have gotten a tax write-off if they gave them away. ?

Oh, my goodness, I did not give this a thought. What hasn’t this pandemic touched and destroyed. This will be affecting all producers and farmers which is devastating. Things will not be the same for a very long time, even if it ever does recover. Thank you for sharing and God Bless.
