While US and Australia hoard toilet paper, the French are hoarding something a little more edible. They are stockpiling bread. Apparently access to fresh baguettes is so important to the French people, bakeries have been deemed an essential-service business and are allowed to remain open despite strict social distancing regulations.
"We've seen people come in who want to buy 50 baguettes at a time. There's something like a psychosis in some people."
Mr Labbe said there need be no concern over supply, even as some bakers have taken to placing a limit on sales per client.
"We have flour, yeast and salt. There is no problem to produce bread."
Let's all pray for the health of everyone, especially those who provide essential services. Long live the baguette!

Have you been in a store lately? Here in Spokanistan, the bread/bakery aisles are empty and have been for a week. And that includes the crappy white bread from the factories.

Well, when you run out of TP, you gotta use something. Good thing that the French bake a lot of bread and here in America, we grow a lot of corn.

In times of crisis, always hoard perishables. Makes perfect sense.Why does e'rybody need so much TP? Because now when anybody coughs or sneezes, everybody shits themselves.
