Great timing, now that people are already struggling...

Things are only going to get worse if our species keeps going the way we have been.

Also this is only a single supermarket chain, it's not that hard to simply shop at a different supermarket that week.

the article states that they are only doing it on a select few products. it's more symbolic than a full-on protest
