When you're starving you eat what's available regardless of how appetizing it looks. The UK isn't starving yet, but how long can they hold out? And has NAFTA ruined Canadian or Mexican food?


Why would the UK run out of food? They grow plenty, and the rest of Europe is very close and happy to sell theirs.

Food is cheap in Britain, cost and supply aren't problems.


Apparently I was being a little too subtle. I meant starving for free trade relationships and participation in a larger economic bloc, not literally starving from lack of food. The point is that UK will have to join up with someone else eventually; they lack the scale to go it alone.
