Vegetable Crisis: Rationing starts in UK supermarkets

Supermarkets in the United Kingdom have started rationing food items after intensifying the vegetable crisis in the country while the food minister has urged Britons to buy turnips instead of tomatoes to overcome the difficulty.

According to international media reports, Environment and Food Minister Therese Coffey told the nation in her speech in the House that the vegetable crisis will last about another month while Tory MP Selaine Saxby also coined the opinion that the nation should turn to eat seasonal vegetables to overcome the shortage.

'If you can't afford food, work harder,' says Therese Coffey, sparking outrage by suggesting that anyone experiencing a cost-of-living issue should work longer hours.

Therese Coffey believes that people who are unable to pay their food costs should 'work additional hours.' Her such remarks sparking outrage in the House.

She stated that the government expects the situation to endure another two to four weeks, but experts fear that costs might skyrocket in the meantime.

On the other hand, rationing has been implemented at four UK shops due to a lack of vegetables such as cucumbers, lettuce, and tomatoes that might last up to a month.

Fears have prompted shoppers to turn to seasonal vegetables. Rationing will continue for another month as Britons rush to buy tomato seeds in a 'grow-your-own' frenzy.
