Stuart Rose, the former boss of Marks & Spencer who now chairs Ocado, called on the British to stop stocking groceries during the coronavirus epidemic.

Speaking on the Radio 4s Today program, he said: There is no shortage of food. No one will starve. There is 1 billion more food in people’s pantries than a few weeks ago. What are they doing with it? How much do you need to eat? How much should you store?

Rose, who recently recovered from a coronavirus, added: If you buy a chicken, roast it, have the roast chicken dinner the next day, turn it into a stir-fry, the next day make it into a soup. We live in a very weak society: we buy too much, we eat too much, we consume too much and we have to learn new ways.

Roasting rose

Unsurprisingly, many people have criticized Roses’ comments on social media.

This kind of comment is not useful. Most families do not “store”. Restaurants, cafes and schools, etc. are closed, where 1/3 of what we normally eat comes from. Families are just eating, Guardian / Observer reporter Sarah Butler said on Twitter.

Responding to Butler, @MancVersusFood commented: He should know better, he’s been in the industry for quite some time. The 30% of Manchester children who are in poverty are probably starving as we speak. This is why it is disturbing that the rich and white guys always dominate the meeting rooms.

And @AlanBingle added: Most families now have children at home all day when they had already had dinner at school and with a reduced household income they can’t get takeout or go out ( if they ever did). And with the need to stay at home / we have no choice but to get a little more than usual!
